II. y²  – 30y + 216 = 0
I. 8x² + 2x – 3 = 0
II. 6y² + 11y + 4 = 0
I. p2 - 19p + 88 = 0  Â
II. q2Â - 48q + 576 = 0
If x² + 2x + 9 = (x – 2) (x – 3), then the resultant equation is:
If x2Â - 3x - 18 = 0 and y2Â + 9y + 18 = 0, which of the following is true?
I. x=  √(20+ √(20+ √(20+ √(20…………….∞)) ) )Â
II. y= √(5√(5√(5√(5……….∞)) ) )Â
