Instructions

In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and
Give answer a: if x >y
Give answer b: if x ≥ y
Give answer c: if x < y
Give answer d: if x ≤ y
Give answer e: if x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.

Question 140

I. $$12x^{2}+7x+1=0$$
II. $$6y^{2}+5y+1=0$$

Solution

I.$$12x^{2} + 7x + 1 = 0$$

=> $$12x^2 + 4x + 3x + 1 = 0$$

=> $$4x (3x + 1) + 1 (3x + 1) = 0$$

=> $$(3x + 1) (4x + 1) = 0$$

=> $$x = \frac{-1}{3} , \frac{-1}{4}$$

II.$$6y^{2} + 5y + 1 = 0$$

=> $$6y^2 + 3y + 2y + 1 = 0$$

=> $$3y (2y + 1) + 1 (2y + 1) = 0$$

=> $$(2y + 1) (3y + 1) = 0$$

=> $$y = \frac{-1}{2} , \frac{-1}{3}$$

$$\therefore x \geq y$$
