As we have learnt in

 

Condition for Real and distinct roots of Quadratic Equation -

D= b^{2}-4ac> 0

- wherein

ax^{2}+bx+c= 0

is the quadratic equation

 

  

Since the given equation has distinct roots

    D > 0                             

Þ  16+4(1-k^2)>0\\\\ k^2 <5 \\\\                       

                alsok \neq -1

          If  k = –1        we will get only one solution, but we want two solutions

\    k^2 <5 , k \neq -1
