The correct Answer is:
To solve the given equations and determine the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Solve the first equation for \( x \) The first equation is: \[ 4x^2 + 13x + 9 = 0 \] We will use the factorization method. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \( 4 \times 9 = 36 \) and add up to \( 13 \). The numbers are \( 4 \) and \( 9 \). We can rewrite the equation as: \[ 4x^2 + 4x + 9x + 9 = 0 \] Now, we can group the terms: \[ (4x^2 + 4x) + (9x + 9) = 0 \] Factoring out the common terms: \[ 4x(x + 1) + 9(x + 1) = 0 \] Now, factor out \( (x + 1) \): \[ (x + 1)(4x + 9) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero gives us: 1. \( x + 1 = 0 \) → \( x = -1 \) 2. \( 4x + 9 = 0 \) → \( 4x = -9 \) → \( x = -\frac{9}{4} = -2.25 \) Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x_1 = -1 \quad \text{and} \quad x_2 = -2.25 \] ### Step 2: Solve the second equation for \( y \) The second equation is: \[ 4y^2 + 20y + 25 = 0 \] Again, we will use the factorization method. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \( 4 \times 25 = 100 \) and add up to \( 20 \). The numbers are \( 10 \) and \( 10 \). We can rewrite the equation as: \[ 4y^2 + 10y + 10y + 25 = 0 \] Now, we can group the terms: \[ (4y^2 + 10y) + (10y + 25) = 0 \] Factoring out the common terms: \[ 2y(2y + 5) + 5(2y + 5) = 0 \] Now, factor out \( (2y + 5) \): \[ (2y + 5)(2y + 5) = 0 \] Setting the factor to zero gives us: \[ 2y + 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2y = -5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{5}{2} = -2.5 \] Thus, the solution for \( y \) is: \[ y = -2.5 \] ### Step 3: Determine the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) We have the values: - \( x_1 = -1 \) - \( x_2 = -2.25 \) - \( y = -2.5 \) Now, we compare: 1. \( -1 > -2.5 \) 2. \( -2.25 > -2.5 \) In both cases, \( x \) is greater than \( y \). ### Conclusion The relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) is: \[ x > y \]
