In the two equations below, solve for $x$ and $y$ and choose the correct relation. I. $x^{2} - 13 x + 42 = 0$
II. $y^{2} - 3 y + 2 = 0$

Competition practiceQuadratic Comparison

A $x$ ≤ $y$
B $x < y$
C $x > y$
D $x$ ≥ $y$

Step-by-Step Solution

x = 6

or 7 and

y = 1

or 2; the smallest

x

(6) is greater than the largest

y

(2), so

x > y

.

Answer: C)

x > y
