The correct Answer is:
To solve the given equations and determine the relationship between \( a \) and \( b \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Solve the first equation \( a^2 + 5a + 6 = 0 \) To solve this quadratic equation, we can factor it. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \( 6 \) (the constant term) and add up to \( 5 \) (the coefficient of \( a \)). The factors of \( 6 \) that satisfy this condition are \( 2 \) and \( 3 \). Thus, we can write: \[ a^2 + 2a + 3a + 6 = 0 \] Grouping the terms gives us: \[ (a + 2)(a + 3) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero, we find: \[ a + 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = -2 \] \[ a + 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = -3 \] Thus, the solutions for \( a \) are \( a = -2 \) and \( a = -3 \). ### Step 2: Solve the second equation \( b^2 + 3b + 2 = 0 \) Similarly, we will factor this quadratic equation. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \( 2 \) and add up to \( 3 \). The factors of \( 2 \) that satisfy this condition are \( 1 \) and \( 2 \). Thus, we can write: \[ b^2 + 1b + 2b + 2 = 0 \] Grouping the terms gives us: \[ (b + 1)(b + 2) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero, we find: \[ b + 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = -1 \] \[ b + 2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b = -2 \] Thus, the solutions for \( b \) are \( b = -1 \) and \( b = -2 \). ### Step 3: Compare the values of \( a \) and \( b \) Now we have the solutions: - For \( a \): \( -2 \) and \( -3 \) - For \( b \): \( -1 \) and \( -2 \) Now we will compare the values: 1. If \( a = -2 \) and \( b = -1 \), then \( a < b \). 2. If \( a = -3 \) and \( b = -2 \), then \( a < b \). 3. If \( a = -2 \) and \( b = -2 \), then \( a = b \). ### Conclusion In all cases, the relationship we can establish is that \( a \leq b \). ### Final Answer The correct answer is (E) if \( a \leq b \). ---
