Drag a symbol into the box to correctly complete the statement.

Answer 1

The symbol that correctly completes the statement is <

Given the expression

• 9+m2−3 and 8(m+3)−2m

If m = 8

f(m) =  9+8^2−3

f(m) = 9 + 64 - 3

f(m) = 70

For g(m) = 8(m+3)−2m

g(m) = 8(8+3) - 2(8)

g(8) = 8(24) - 16

g(8) = 191

This shows that f(8) < g(8). Hence the symbol that correctly completes the statement is <
