Answer:

(x-4)^{2}-11

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 8x + 5 = x² - 8x + (16 - 16) + 5      {we just added 16 and subtractEd it }

                 = (x - 4)² - 16 + 5               {<u><em>Reason </em></u>:  x² - 8x + 16 = (x - 4)² }

                 = (x - 4)² - 11

Answer:

(x - 4)² - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x + 5

To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square.

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 8x

= x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 + 5

= (x - 4)² - 11

In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95. If he population increases 15% every year, approximately what will the
vova2212 [387]

The population is increasing every year. so we use exponential growth function

y=a(1+r)^x

Where 'a' is the initial population

r is the rate of increase

x is the years

y is the final population

In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95

Initial population a= 95

r= 15%= 0.15

x = 2023 - 2015 = 8 years

Plug in all the values and find out y

y=a(1+r)^x

y=95(1+0.15)^8

y = 290.607

The population in 2023 is 291
