a: x > y
b: x ≤ y
c: x ≥ y
d: x < y
e: Relationship between x and y cannot be established

Question 62

I.$$x^{2}-x-12= 0$$
II. $$y^{2}+4y+4=0$$

Solution

I.$$x^{2} - x - 12 = 0$$

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

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

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

=> $$x = 4 , -3$$

II.$$y^{2} + 4y + 4 = 0$$

=> $$y^2 + 2y + 2y + 4 = 0$$

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

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

=> $$y = -2 , -2$$

Because $$4 > -2$$ and $$-2 > -3$$

$$\therefore$$ No relation can be established.
