Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 12x + 11 = 0 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
x² - 12x = - 11
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = - 11 + 36
(x - 6)² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )
x - 6 = ± = ± 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
x = 6 ± 5
Then
x = 6 - 5 = 1 ⇒ (1, 0 )
x = 6 + 5 = 11 ⇒ (11, 0 )
