Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1)² - 5(1) + 1
3x3 = 9
9-5+1
9-6 = 3
(x-12)(x-12) would factor to x²-24x+144.
(x-12)(x+12) = x²+144
Option C is correct :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:









The right triangle has legs of x and 2.5 where x is the height up the wall that the ladder will reach. The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem, x^2 + 2.5^2 = 12^2
x = 11.736 approx To the nearest tenth that is 11.7.
