Answer:

This is the form of (x-a)^2 +b is f(x) = (x-2)^2 +4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Given function f(x) = x^2 -4 x +8

[tex]f(x) = x^{2} - 2 (2 x) +4 +4[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = x^{2} -2(2 x) +(2)^2+4[/tex]

we will use formula

[tex](a-b)^{2} = a^{2} -2 a b+b^{2}[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = (x-2)^2+4[/tex]

this is the form of

[tex](x-a)^2+b[/tex]

Final answer:-

[tex]f(x) = (x-2)^2+4[/tex]
