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

Answer :

Answer: ≥ without the line on the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the expression you are talking about are

[tex]3w^{2} +1[/tex] and [tex]10w+8[/tex].

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

[tex]3*4^{2} +1=3*16+1=48+1=49[/tex]

[tex]10*4+8=40+8=48[/tex]

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