Question

Let w = 4. Enter >, <, or = to compare the expressions. 3w² + 1 10w + 8

Answer 1

Answer: ≥ without the line on the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the expression you are talking about are

$3w^{2} +1$ and $10w+8$.

If we were to replace w with 4 and calculate, we will find the answer:

$3*4^{2} +1=3*16+1=48+1=49$

$10*4+8=40+8=48$

Since the first expression, $3w^{2} +1$, is bigger than the second expression, the correct symbol to use is ≥ without the line on the bottom.
