Question

    I. 17x² - 26x – 16 = 0

    II. 17y²- 26y + 9 = 0

    A x < y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B x > y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C x=y or no relationship cannot be established between x and y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D x ≥ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E x ≤ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I. 17x² - 26x – 16 = 0 17x² - 34x + 8x – 16 = 0 17x(x – 2) + 8(x – 2) = 0  (17x + 8)(x – 2) = 0 x = 2, - 8/17 II. 17y² - 26y + 9 = 0 17y²- 17y - 9y + 9 = 0 17y(y–1) – 9(y – 1) = 0 y = 1, 9/17 Hence, no relationship cannot be established between x and y.
