This equation is of the form
a*k^2 + b*k + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$k_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$k_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -4$$
$$c = 13$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(-4)^2 - 4 * (1) * (13) = -36
Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
k1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
k2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or
$$k_{1} = 2 + 3 i$$
Simplify$$k_{2} = 2 - 3 i$$
