FInd the set of values for 'k' such that the quadratic expression kx^2+4x+k is positive definite
Is this a Sage question? Please edit to rewrite this so it's clear what you want Sage to do.
Just an allusion:
sage: R.<k,x> = QQ[] sage: f = k*x^2 + 4*x + k sage: f.discriminant(x) -4*k^2 + 16
Or:
sage: R.<k> = QQ[] sage: Q = QuadraticForm( R, 2, [k/2,2,k/2] ) sage: Q.matrix() [k 2] [2 k] sage: Q.disc() -k^2 + 4
