Step-by-step explanation:

4x² - 12x + 9 = 5 → 4x² - 12x + 4 = 0 → x² - 3x + 1 = 0

∆ = b² - 4ac → ∆ = (-3)² -4(1)(1) = 9 - 4 = 5

x = (-(-3) ± √5)/2(1) = (3 ± √5)/2

x² - 3x + 1 = 0 → (x - 3/2)² - 9/4 + 1 = 0 → (x - 3/2)² = 5/4 → x - 3/2 = ±√5 / 2 → x = ½( 3 ± √5)

Okay.
Well, first of all you need to know what an x-intercept is.
It's the point of when the line crosses over the x-axis. For this, situation it crosses twice. An x-intercept written out is normally written out as (#, 0)
Out of that table you have two that apply to (#, 0)
(-6, 0) and (11,0)
the question is asking for a positive x-intercept. I'm guessing you know the difference. between negative and positive. but just in case, I'll use the number 5. As a positive: 5 As a negative: -5
So, you have -6 and 11.
the 6 is negative(-) the 11 is positive(+).
So your answer would be (11,0)

I hope this helped! :)

Use >, <, or = to complete the statement.

It should be |-10| < |11| which I think is option C?
