Consider the following statements: 1. + can never be equal to 1.5 . 2. + can never be less than 2 . Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Step-by-step solution

aligned & (i) + = 3 2 & 1+ ^2 = 3 2 & 2 ^2 -3 +2=0 aligned here discriminant is negative No real roots No solution. (ii) In second quadrant both and are negative In second quadrant value is less than 2 . So only statement 1 is true.
