Question

I. 17x² - 26x – 16 = 0

II. 17y²- 26y + 9 = 0

A x 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.
