To find the value of \(k\), we equate the curve and the line:
\((2k - 3)x^2 - kx - (k - 2) = 3x - 4\)
Rearrange to form a quadratic equation:
\((2k - 3)x^2 - (k + 3)x - (k - 6) = 0\)
For the line to be tangent to the curve, the discriminant of this quadratic must be zero:
\(b^2 - 4ac = 0\)
Here, \(a = 2k - 3\), \(b = -(k + 3)\), \(c = -(k - 6)\).
Calculate the discriminant:
\((k + 3)^2 + 4(2k - 3)(k - 6) = 0\)
Simplify:
\(k^2 + 6k + 9 + 8k^2 -60k + 72 = 0\)
\(9k^2 - 54k +81 = 0\)
Divide by 9:
\(k^2 - 6k + 9 = 0\)
\(k = 3\)
Since the line is tangent, \(k = 3\).
