Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} a_1 \\ a_2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} b_1 \\ b_2 \end{bmatrix}$ be two $2 \times 1$ matrices with real entries such that $A = XB$,where $X = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 1 & k \end{bmatrix}$ and $k \in R$. If $a_1^2 + a_2^2 = \frac{2}{3}(b_1^2 + b_2^2)$ and $(k^2 + 1)b_2^2 \neq -2b_1b_2$,then the value of $k$ is ....... .
