Determine the values of k for which the equation has no solution

To solve this, we would need to figure out the values of for which an absolute value is negative. From basics, you should know that an absolute value is always greater than or equal to 0.

If we rearrange this equation a little bit, we get,

So cannot be negative. So,

For this to have a solution, k needs to be greater than or equal to .

For no solution, k is less than -5. So, values of k which will make the equation to not have any solution is .
