Multiple choice

(\text{Find the value of variables and state the correct relationship.}\\text{I. } (x - 18)^2 = 0\\text{II. } y^2 = 324)

  1. $\(x < y\)$
  2. $\(x > y\)$
  3. $\(x \ge y\)$
  4. $\(x \le y\)$
  5. $\(x = y \text{ or relation cannot be established}\)$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation I: (x - 18)^2 = 0 gives x = 18 (only one value). Solving equation II: y^2 = 324 gives y = 18 or y = -18. Comparing: if y = 18, then x = y; if y = -18, then x > y. In all cases, x is greater than or equal to y, so x ≥ y is correct.
