Equations And Inequations Ques 116

I. $3 x^{2}+14 x+15=0$

II. $2 y^{2}+9 y+10=0$

Directions : In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer

(1) if $x>y$

(2) if $x \geq y$

(3) if $x<y$

(4) if $x \leq y$

(5) if $x=y$ or the relationship between $x$ and $y$ cannot be established.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 116.(5)

Solution: (5) I. $3 x^{2}+14 x+15=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x^{2}+9 x+5 x+15=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x(x+3)+5(x+3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x+3)(3 x+5)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-3$ or, $\frac{-5}{3}$

II. $2 y^{2}+9 y+10=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 y^{2}+4 y+5 y+10=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 y(y+2)+5(y+2)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y+2)(2 y+5)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=-2$ or, $\frac{-5}{2}$
