no i think there is more to it..

it is given x>0

so u will have to take that the derivative has a +ve root!

actual answer (-∞,3) U (3,29/7)
my answer (-∞,3) U (3,7)

first of all derivative:
3x^2-6(7-k)x-3(9-k^2). this equation must have 2(one +ve x for maxima and another +ve x for minima) +ve roots. then,
at x=0, -3(9-k^2)>0,implying k^2>9. also derivative of above equation 6x-6(7-k)=0 must have a +ve root.(at the pt. of minima of the parabola.) so, 7>k.

but, discriminant should be>0, then we get k<29/7
