If the roots of the quadratic equation $x^2 - 2kx + k^2 + k - 5 = 0$ are less than $5$,then in which interval does $k$ lie?

If $a$ and $b$ are the maximum and minimum values of the quadratic expressions $1-2x-5x^2$ and $x^2-2x+5$ respectively,then the set of all values of $x$ for which the expression $5ax^2+bx+7$ is positive,is

The set of values of $a$ for which the inequality $x^2 - (a + 2)x - (a + 3) < 0$ is satisfied by at least one positive real $x$ is:

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the quadratic equation $x^2 - 3x + a = 0$,where $a \in R$ and $\alpha < 1 < \beta$,then which of the following is true?

Statement-$I$: If the roots $\alpha, \beta$ of the equation $x^2 + 2(a - 3)x + 9 = 0$,$a \in R$ satisfy $\alpha < 6 < \beta$,then $a < -3/4$.
Statement-$II$: If $f(x) = x^2 + 2(a - 3)x + 9$,then $f(6) < 0 \implies a < -3/4$.

If the minimum value of the quadratic expression $x^2+5x-2$ is $M$ and it occurs at $x=a$,then $\frac{M}{a}$ is equal to
