Answer: Intercepts \(\left(-\frac12,0\right)\), \((5,0)\), \((0,5)\); exactly two solutions when \(k=0\) or \(k\gt \frac{121}{8}\).
The graph meets the \(x\)-axis when
\(2x^2-9x-5=0.\)
Factorising gives
\((2x+1)(x-5)=0.\)
So the \(x\)-intercepts are
\(\left(-\frac12,0\right)\quad\text{and}\quad(5,0).\)
The \(y\)-intercept is
\(\left|2(0)^2-9(0)-5\right|=5,\)
so the graph meets the y-axis at \((0,5)\).
The original quadratic \(2x^2-9x-5\) is negative between the roots, so that part is reflected above the \(x\)-axis by the modulus.
The maximum of this reflected middle section occurs at
\(x=\frac{-(-9)}{2(2)}=\frac94.\)
At this value,
\(2\left(\frac94\right)^2-9\left(\frac94\right)-5=-\frac{121}{8}.\)
So the reflected maximum is
\(\frac{121}{8}.\)
For \(\left|2x^2-9x-5\right|=k\) to have exactly two solutions, either the horizontal line is the \(x\)-axis, giving the two roots, or it lies above the reflected maximum.
Therefore
\(\boxed{k=0\quad\text{or}\quad k\gt \frac{121}{8}}.\)
