<u>Given</u>:
The given expression is 
We need to determine the expression that is equivalent to the given expression.
<u>Equivalent expression:</u>
The equivalent expression can be determined by solving the expression.
Let us solve the polynomial function by factoring.
First, we shall group the expression.
Thus, we get;

Factoring out the common term
, we get;

Thus, the expression that is equivalent to the expression
is 
Hence, the equivalent expression is 
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
Answer:
From the Pythagorean theorem...
[ distance between (a, 7) and (2, 1) ]2 = [a - 2]2 + [7 - 1]2
And they tell us that the distance equals 3√5 , so
[ 3√5 ]2 = [a - 2]2 + [7 - 1]2
45 = [a - 2]2 + 36
9 = [a - 2]2
±√9 = a - 2
± 3 = a - 2
± 3 + 2 = a
a = 3 + 2 = 5 or a = -3 + 2 = -1
and
5 + -1 = 4
