The equation (t – 1)x^2 + 4x + (t – 5) = 0, where t is a constant has no real roots. Show that t satisfies t2–6t+1>0

This is a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx +c, where (t-1)=a 4=b . (t-5)=0 Therefore if there are no real roots, you get that b^2-4ac<0. (using the quadratic formula)

First plug in valu...
