Secondary 3

The equation of a curve is \(y=3{{x}^{2}}-kx+k\), where \(k\) is a constant.

  1. Find the smallest value of the integer \(k\) for which the curve is always positive for all values of \(x\).
  2. Find the set of values of \(k\) for which the line \(y=2x-2\) intersects the curve at two distinct points.
