Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • [a] I. $ 2x^{2}+23x+63=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x^{2}+14x+9x+63=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x,(x+7)+9,(x+7)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ (x+7)(2x+9)=0\Rightarrow x=-7,, $ $ -\frac{9}{2} $ II. $ 4y^{2}+19y+21=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4y^{2}+12y+7y+21=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4y,(y+3)+7,(y+3)=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ (y+3)(4y+7)=0\Rightarrow y=-3,, $ $ -\frac{7}{4} $ Hence, $ y>x $
