  Given a quadratic function f(x) =3-4k-(k+3) x-x^2, where k is a constant, is always negative when p<k<q. What is the value of p and q?

f(x)=−x^2 −(k+3)x+3−4k < 0 ∀x∈R  taking discriminant Δ<0  ∴ (k+3)^2 −4(−1)(3−4k)<0  k^2 +6k+9+12−16k<0  k^2 −10k+21<0 ⇒(k−7)(k−3)<0  we get 3 < k < 7 so  { ((p=3)),((q=7)) :}
