Equations And Inequations Ques 125

I. $3 x^{2}+29 x+56=0$

II. $2 y^{2}+15 y+25=0$

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

(1) if $x<y$

(2) if $x>y$

(3) if $x \leq y$

(4) if $x \geq y$

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

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 125.(1)

Solution: (1) I. $3 x^{2}+29 x+56=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x^{2}+21 x+8 x+56=0$

$\Rightarrow 3 x(x+7)+8(x+7)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x+7)(3 x+8)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-7$ or $\frac{-8}{3}$

II. $2 y^{2}+15 y+25=0$

$\Rightarrow 2 y^{2}+10 y+5 y+25=0$

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

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

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

Clearly, $x<y$
