The correct Answer is:
To solve the given equations step by step, we will start with each equation separately. ### Step 1: Solve Equation I The first equation is: \[ 2x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0 \] We will use the factorization method to solve this quadratic equation. 1. **Multiply the coefficient of \(x^2\) (which is 2) with the constant term (which is 1)**: \[ 2 \times 1 = 2 \] 2. **We need to find two numbers that multiply to 2 and add up to -3**. The numbers that satisfy these conditions are -2 and -1. 3. **Rewrite the middle term (-3x) using -2 and -1**: \[ 2x^2 - 2x - x + 1 = 0 \] 4. **Group the terms**: \[ (2x^2 - 2x) + (-x + 1) = 0 \] 5. **Factor by grouping**: \[ 2x(x - 1) - 1(x - 1) = 0 \] 6. **Factor out the common term \((x - 1)\)**: \[ (2x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 \] 7. **Set each factor to zero**: \[ 2x - 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 1 = 0 \] 8. **Solve for \(x\)**: \[ 2x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ x - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1 \] So, the solutions for \(x\) are: \[ x = \frac{1}{2}, \quad x = 1 \] ### Step 2: Solve Equation II The second equation is: \[ y^2 - 8y + 15 = 0 \] We will also use the factorization method here. 1. **We need to find two numbers that multiply to 15 and add up to -8**. The numbers that satisfy these conditions are -3 and -5. 2. **Rewrite the equation using these numbers**: \[ y^2 - 3y - 5y + 15 = 0 \] 3. **Group the terms**: \[ (y^2 - 3y) + (-5y + 15) = 0 \] 4. **Factor by grouping**: \[ y(y - 3) - 5(y - 3) = 0 \] 5. **Factor out the common term \((y - 3)\)**: \[ (y - 3)(y - 5) = 0 \] 6. **Set each factor to zero**: \[ y - 3 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad y - 5 = 0 \] 7. **Solve for \(y\)**: \[ y - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow y = 3 \] \[ y - 5 = 0 \Rightarrow y = 5 \] So, the solutions for \(y\) are: \[ y = 3, \quad y = 5 \] ### Step 3: Compare the Values of \(x\) and \(y\) Now we have: - \(x\) can take values \( \frac{1}{2} \) and \( 1 \) - \(y\) can take values \( 3 \) and \( 5 \) We need to compare the values of \(x\) and \(y\): - Both values of \(x\) (\(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(1\)) are less than both values of \(y\) (3 and 5). Thus, we conclude that: \[ x < y \] ### Final Answer The correct relation is: \[ x < y \]
