The curve \(\mathrm{f}(x)=(2k-4){{x}^{2}}+3kx-3\) has a maximum point.

  1. State the range of values of \(k\) for which \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) has a maximum value.
  2. Represent the solution set for values of \(k\) on a number line given that \(\mathrm{f}(x)\) cuts the \(x\)-axis at two distinct points.
