    Question

    Solve the quadratic equations and determine the relation

    between x and y:  Equation 1: x² + 2x - 15 = 0 Equation 2: y² - 4y - 12 = 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 No relation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From equation 1: x² + 2x - 15 = 0 Factorizing: (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 So, x = -5 or x = 3. From equation 2: y² - 4y - 12 = 0 Factorizing: (y - 6)(y + 2) = 0 So, y = 6 or y = -2. Comparing x and y: • If x = 3 and y = -2, x > y. • If x = -5 and y = 6, x < y. • If x = -5 and y = -2, x < y. Thus, no relation Answer: E
