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 {Reason : 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

Direct variation or not a direct variation y=5/x

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

not direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for x and y in direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

y = $\frac{5}{x}$ is not in this form, thus not direct variation.

The equation for x and y varying inversely is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

y = $\frac{5}{x}$ is in this form and represents inverse variation

Distance Formula: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (-1, -8)

Point (-4, -4)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

Substitute in points [Distance Formula]: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-4--1)^2+(-4--8)^2}$
[√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-3)^2+(4)^2}$
[√Radical] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{9+16}$
[√Radical] Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{25}$
[√Radical] Evaluate: $\displaystyle d = 5$
