Question

    Solve the quadratic equations and determine the

    relation between x and y: Equation 1: 19x² - 88x + 100 = 0 Equation 2: 17y² - 79y + 90 = 0
    A x > y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B x ≥ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C x < y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D x ≤ y Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E x = y or no relation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For Equation 1: (19x - 50)(x - 2) = 0, x = 50/19 or x = 2. For Equation 2:                   (17y - 45)(y - 2) = 0, y = 45/17 or y = 2. Comparison: x = 50/19 > y = 2 and x = 2 < y = 45/17 Answer: E) x = y or no relation
