–3x + 5.9 ≥ –15.4
subtract 5.9 from each side
-3x >= -21.3
divide by -3 which causes the inequality to flip
x <= 7.1
Answer: -10,-5,0,5
Correct Question:
Which term could be put in the blank to create a fully simplified polynomial written in standard form?
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y3)
Options

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y%5E3)
Required
Fill in the missing gap
We have that:
![8x^3y^2 -\ [\ \ ] + 3xy^2 - 4y^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8x%5E3y%5E2%20-%5C%20%5B%5C%20%5C%20%5D%20%2B%203xy%5E2%20-%204y%5E3)
From the polynomial, we can see that the power of x starts from 3 and stops at 0 while the power of y is constant.
Hence, the variable of the polynomial is x
This implies that the power of x decreases by 1 in each term.
The missing gap has to its left, a term with x to the power of 3 and to its right, a term with x to the power of 1.
This implies that the blank will be filled with a term that has its power of x to be 2
From the list of given options, only
can be used to complete the polynomial.
Hence, the complete polynomial is:

First, we get ax^2+bx+c. Next, we know that the line of symmetry is -b/2a. Since we know that there is a maximum value, the parabola is facing downwards, so a is negative. For random numbers, we can say that a = -0.5 and b=-10 (b needs to be negative for -b/2a to equal -10), getting -0.5x^2-10x+c. Plugging -10 in for x (since -10 is the middle it is the max), we get -50+100=50. Since the maximum needs to be 5, not 50, we subtract 45 from the answer to get it and therefore make c = -45, getting -0.5x^2-10x-45
