Q:

In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given.

$I . 2 x^{2} + 19 x + 42 = 0 II . 4 y^{2} + 43 y + 30 = 0$

A) x > y	B) x < y
C) x ≥ y	D) x ≤ y

Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

I. 2x2 + 19x + 42 = 0

2x2 + 12x + 7x + 42 = 0

2x (x+6) + 7(x +6) = 0

(2x+7) (x+6) = 0 x = -7/2, -6 I

I. 4y2 + 43y + 30 = 0

4y2 +40y + 3y + 30 = 0

4y(y + 10) + 3(y + 10) (4y + 3)(y + 10) = 0

y = -3/4, -10

So answer is no relation.
