Multiple choice

In the following questions, there are two equations. Solve the equations and answer accordingly. (I. p^2 – 5.8p + 8.41 = 0 ) (II. q^2 - 3.8q + 3.12 = 0)

  1. p < q

  2. p > q

  3. p = q or relationship cannot be established

  4. p ≤ q

  5. p ≥ q

B Correct answer
Explanation

The first equation factors to (p-2.9)² = 0, so p = 2.9. The second equation factors to (q-1.2)(q-2.6) = 0, giving q = 1.2 or q = 2.6. In both cases, p > q, so p > q is the correct relationship.
