9k^{2}-6k+1-4\left(k-2\right)\left(2k+1\right)\geq 0
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3k-1\right)^{2}.
9k^{2}-6k+1+\left(-4k+8\right)\left(2k+1\right)\geq 0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by k-2.
9k^{2}-6k+1-8k^{2}+12k+8\geq 0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4k+8 by 2k+1 and combine like terms.
k^{2}-6k+1+12k+8\geq 0
Combine 9k^{2} and -8k^{2} to get k^{2}.
k^{2}+6k+1+8\geq 0
Combine -6k and 12k to get 6k.
k^{2}+6k+9\geq 0
Add 1 and 8 to get 9.
k^{2}+6k+9=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
k=\frac{-6±\sqrt{6^{2}-4\times 1\times 9}}{2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 1 for a, 6 for b, and 9 for c in the quadratic formula.
k=\frac{-6±0}{2}
Do the calculations.
