For a real parameter kk, define fk(x)=x3−2kx+kf_k(x)=x^{3}-2kx+k on the interval [0,2][0,2]. For which values of kk is at least one real solution of fk(x)=0f_k(x)=0 guaranteed to occur in (0,2)(0,2)? a) 0<k<830<k<\dfrac{8}{3} b) All\ real\ k c) k<0 or k>83k<0\text{ or }k>\dfrac{8}{3} d) k≤0 or k≥83k\le 0\text{ or }k\ge \dfrac{8}{3}
