Answer 2

x² + 5

Explanation:

Given statement:

• "number squared, added to 5"

We know the following:

1. "number squared" ⇒ A number multiplied to the same number.

Let the number be known as "x". Then;

`\implies x * x`

`\implies \underline{x^(2)}`

2. "added to 5" ⇒ Addition between number, squared and 5.

Let the number be known as "x". Then;

`\implies (x)^(2) + 5`
`(\text{number, squared} \implies x^(2) )`

`\implies \boxed{x^(2) + 5}`

Therefore, the expression that represents the statement is x² + 5.
