> Complete the square to write the function in the form f(x) = a(x - h)? + + k.
f(x)= x2 - 8x + 17
f(x) =D
(Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Type an integer or an improper

f(x) = (x-4)² + 1Step-by-step explanation:

For clarity, exponents should be marked with a ^:  f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 17

Group like terms

f(x) = (x² - 8x) + 17

Complete the square

 coefficient of x term: -8

 divide coefficient in half: -4

 square the result: (-4)² = 4²

 use 4² to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:

f(x) = (x² - 8x + 4²) - 4² + 17

f(x) = (x-4)² + 1

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
