Thanks a lot Mr Prakash. But when I substitute the complex roots into the orginal equation with k=4, it doesnt come to 0. Can you spot my mistake?

since the equation has one real root, the other two roots are complex conjugates. But my final answer does not fit into the original eqn with k=4

Wondering what went wrong..

Glad if u could help me get the other 2 roots.
