The correct Answer is:
To solve the equations and determine the relationship between \( p \) and \( q \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Solve the first equation for \( p \) The first equation is: \[ p^2 - 5p + 6 = 0 \] We can factor this equation. We look for two numbers that multiply to \( 6 \) (the constant term) and add to \( -5 \) (the coefficient of \( p \)). The numbers \( -2 \) and \( -3 \) satisfy these conditions. Thus, we can factor the equation as: \[ (p - 2)(p - 3) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero gives us the solutions: \[ p - 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad p = 2 \] \[ p - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad p = 3 \] So, the possible values of \( p \) are \( 2 \) and \( 3 \). ### Step 2: Solve the second equation for \( q \) The second equation is: \[ q^2 - 4q + 3 = 0 \] Again, we look for two numbers that multiply to \( 3 \) and add to \( -4 \). The numbers \( -1 \) and \( -3 \) work here. Thus, we can factor the equation as: \[ (q - 1)(q - 3) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero gives us the solutions: \[ q - 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad q = 1 \] \[ q - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad q = 3 \] So, the possible values of \( q \) are \( 1 \) and \( 3 \). ### Step 3: Determine the relationship between \( p \) and \( q \) Now we have the possible values: - For \( p \): \( 2, 3 \) - For \( q \): \( 1, 3 \) We will compare the values of \( p \) and \( q \): 1. If \( p = 2 \): - \( q = 1 \) → \( p > q \) - \( q = 3 \) → \( p < q \) 2. If \( p = 3 \): - \( q = 1 \) → \( p > q \) - \( q = 3 \) → \( p = q \) From these comparisons, we can conclude: - \( p \) can be greater than, less than, or equal to \( q \) depending on the specific values chosen. ### Final Conclusion Since there are cases where \( p > q \), \( p < q \), and \( p = q \), we cannot definitively establish a single relationship between \( p \) and \( q \). Therefore, the answer is that no relation can be decided between \( p \) and \( q \). ---
