Answer:

Given : line y=mx+4 intersects the curve y=3x2 −4x+7at two distinct points.

To find :   set of values of m

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx  + 4

y = 3x² − 4x + 7

Substitute y = mx + 4  to find intersection point

mx + 4  = 3x² − 4x + 7

=>  3x² - x(m + 4) + 3 = 0

(m + 4)² > 4(3)(3)  

=> m² + 8m + 16 >  36

=> m² + 8m - 20 >  0

=> (m + 10)(m - 2) >  0

m <  - 10  & m > 2

m  = (-∞ , - 10) ∪ ( 2 , ∞ )
