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

Robert types 152 words per minute. How long will it take Robert to type 2,508<br> words?
Novay_Z [31]
2,508 divided by 152 is equal to 16.5
I say 17 minutes, since 152x16=2,432 so a extra minute is needed to get to 2,508

What is the length of the base of a right triangle with an area of 20 square meters and a height of 4 meters? 5 m 10 m 80 m 160
o-na [289]
You find the area of a triangle by using 1/2*b*h where b is the base and h is the height. since we already know the area is 20 and the height is for you plus them in so the problem would be 20= 1/2 (b) (4) then you multiply what you know together to get 20= 2b and then isolate the b by dividing both sides by two so the base should be 10 m
