The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to find the values of \(a\) from the first equation and \(b\) from the second equation, and then compare them. ### Step 1: Solve the first equation The first equation is: \[ 4a^2 - 20a + 21 = 0 \] We will use the quadratic formula: \[ a = \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 - 4AC}}{2A} \] where \(A = 4\), \(B = -20\), and \(C = 21\). #### Step 1.1: Calculate the discriminant First, we calculate the discriminant \(D\): \[ D = B^2 - 4AC = (-20)^2 - 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 21 \] \[ D = 400 - 336 = 64 \] #### Step 1.2: Calculate the roots Now we substitute back into the quadratic formula: \[ a = \frac{20 \pm \sqrt{64}}{2 \cdot 4} \] \[ a = \frac{20 \pm 8}{8} \] Calculating the two possible values for \(a\): 1. For the plus sign: \[ a_1 = \frac{20 + 8}{8} = \frac{28}{8} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \] 2. For the minus sign: \[ a_2 = \frac{20 - 8}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \] Thus, the values of \(a\) are \(3.5\) and \(1.5\). ### Step 2: Solve the second equation The second equation is: \[ 2b^2 - 5b + 3 = 0 \] Again, we will use the quadratic formula: \[ b = \frac{-B \pm \sqrt{B^2 - 4AC}}{2A} \] where \(A = 2\), \(B = -5\), and \(C = 3\). #### Step 2.1: Calculate the discriminant Calculating the discriminant \(D\): \[ D = (-5)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \] \[ D = 25 - 24 = 1 \] #### Step 2.2: Calculate the roots Now we substitute back into the quadratic formula: \[ b = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{1}}{2 \cdot 2} \] \[ b = \frac{5 \pm 1}{4} \] Calculating the two possible values for \(b\): 1. For the plus sign: \[ b_1 = \frac{5 + 1}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \] 2. For the minus sign: \[ b_2 = \frac{5 - 1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1 \] Thus, the values of \(b\) are \(1.5\) and \(1\). ### Step 3: Compare the values of \(a\) and \(b\) Now we have: - \(a_1 = 3.5\) - \(a_2 = 1.5\) - \(b_1 = 1.5\) - \(b_2 = 1\) #### Comparison: - For \(a_1 = 3.5\) and \(b_1 = 1.5\): \(3.5 > 1.5\) - For \(a_1 = 3.5\) and \(b_2 = 1\): \(3.5 > 1\) - For \(a_2 = 1.5\) and \(b_1 = 1.5\): \(1.5 = 1.5\) - For \(a_2 = 1.5\) and \(b_2 = 1\): \(1.5 > 1\) From the comparisons, we can conclude that \(a\) is always greater than or equal to \(b\). ### Final Answer Thus, the relationship between \(a\) and \(b\) is: **(D) if \(a \geq b\)**
