Question

Let x = 3 and y = 2.

Select from the drop-down menu to create a true statement.
5y2–2x < x2 +
A.y
B.x
C.xy
D.2y
Which expression completes the statement to form a true inequality?
3+62<
3³ + 12
5² + 4²
2³ + 5² + 6
2³ + 14 + 17

Answer 1

None of the options completes the statement to form a true inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a true statement, we need to substitute the given values of x and y into the inequality expression.

Given x = 3 and y = 2, we have:

5y^2 - 2x < x^2 + 2y

Substituting the values, we get:

5(2)^2 - 2(3) < (3)^2 + 2(2)

Simplifying, we get:

20 - 6 < 9 + 4

14 < 13

Since the inequality 14 < 13 is false, none of the options A, B, C, or D completes the statement to form a true inequality.
