Answer:

A.
y\le2x^2-8x+3

Explanation:

The given parabola has vertex at (2,-5).

The equation of this parabola in vertex form is given by:


y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k)=(2,-5) is the vertex of the parabola.

We substitute the values to get:


y=a(x-2)^2-5

The graph passes through; (0,3).


3=a(0-2)^2-5


\implies 3+5=4a


\implies 8=4a


\implies a=2

Hence the equation of the parabola is


y=2(x-2)^2-5

We expand this to get:


y=2x^2-8x+8-5


y=2x^2-8x+3

Since the outward region was shaded, the corresponding inequality is


y\le2x^2-8x+3

The correct answer is A
