Remark
It's asking you to complete the square to find the vertex. 

Solve
y = -2x^2 + x + 3 Put brackets around the first 2 terms.
y = (-2x^2 + x) + 3    Pull out the 2.
y = -2(x^2 - 1/2 x) + 3 Be especially observant of the sign on 1/2x Divide the middle term's number by 2 and square it. 
y = -2(x^2 - 1/2 x + [(1/2) / 2]^2 ) + 3 [1/2 divided by 2 is 1/4. (1/4)^2 = 1/16; 2*(1/16) = 1/8
y = - 2(x^2 - 1/2 x + (1/4)^2 ) + 3 + 1/8
y = -2(x - 1/4)^2 + 3 1/8

Comment
Answer to your question. The maximum value (3 1/8) is above the y axis. That means the graph of the equation crosses the x axis twice. I'm going to include the graph because in answering the question, there is no harm in seeing the graph.

Answer:

y=0.25x

We can think of k as an unknown number.

8×_=2.00

12×_=3.00

20×_=5.00

If we divide 2 with 8 we are left with 0.25.

It's the same for the other numbers so we know the constant is 0.25.

When we use the formula y=0.25x with the numbers above, it is correct.

8×0.25=2.00

12×0.25=3.00

20×0.25=5.00

Mr. Choe solved the inequality and his work is shown below. 3x+5≤−1 −5 −5 3x≤−6 ÷3 ÷3 x≥−2 Identify and explain Mr. Choe's error
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

x ≤ - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality :

3x+5≤−1

Subtract 5 from both sides

3x + 5 - 5 ≤ - 1 - 5

3x ≤ - 6

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 ≤ - 6/3

x ≤ - 2

Mr.Choe's error was that he changed the inequality sign. The inequality sign in this case does not need to be changed.

horrorfan [7]
The coefficient of the first term. 
If it's talking about the left end, then it'll be the first degree. So since it's to the third power, you'll have something that looks like x^3, which starts at the bottom left. The negative sign indicates a swapped axis. So it'll be the coefficient (which is -3). That states it'll start from the top left and go downward. The +3 is just a vertical shift.
