Q:

In the question given below, two equations are provided. Solve the equations and establish the relationship between x and y

I. 2x2-13x-189=0 II. 2y2-3y-189=0

A) x>y B)  x≥y
C)  x<y D) x≤y
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

I. 2x2 - 13x - 189 = 0 2x2 - 27x + 14x - 189 = 0 x(2x - 27) + 7(2x - 27) = 0 x = -7, 27/2

II. 2y2 - 3y - 189 = 0 2y2 - 21y + 18y - 189 = 0 y(2y - 21) + 9(2y - 21) = 0 y = -9, 21/2

When x, as well as y, have both positive and negative values then no relationship can be established between them because if we consider x to be positive then the negative value of y will be lesser than x. If we consider x to be negative then positive value of y will be greater than x.
