9/8 is greater than or less than 2 halves

What is the missing step in this proof ?

Which of these tables represents a non-linear function?

Alina fully simplifies this polynomial and then writes it in standard form. xy2 – 2x2y + 3y3 – 6x2y + 4xy2 if alina wrote the last term as 3y3, which must be the first term of her polynomial in standard form? xy2 5xy2 –8x2y –2x2y
