Problem

Consider the circle O ⁣:x2+y2=4O \colon x^2 + y^2 = 4 and the line l ⁣:y=kx+5l \colon y = kx + 5.

1. If there exist a point AA on ll and a point BB on the circle OO with OAB=π6\angle OAB = \dfrac{\pi}{6}, find the range of possible values of kk. 2. If for every point AA on ll there exists a point BB on the circle OO with OBA=π6\angle OBA = \dfrac{\pi}{6}, find the range of possible values of kk.
