Answer:
C, sorry if it is wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
General form for vertex form is:
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where the vertex is the point (h, k). We know this to be (5, -3), so we can substitute the values for h and k to get:
y = a(x - 5)² - 3
We then also have another point (6, 1) that gives us an x and y. Substitute those in to leave one unknown which we can solve for:
1 = a(6 - 5)² - 3
1 = a(1)² - 3
1 = a(1) - 3
1 = a - 3
4 = a
So the equation of this parabola in vertex form is:
y = 4(x - 5)² - 3

Pythagorean theorem
the shadow legnth=bottom leg
legnth from top of tower to end of shadow=hypotounuse
height of tower=vertical leg
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are legs
c=hypotonuse
11^2+b^2=61^2
121+b^2=3721
minus 121 both sides
b^2=3600
sqrt both sides
b=60
height of toer is 60 feet
59 is a tough bird to deal with; its only factors are 1 and 59.
Thus, forget about factoring. Instead, use the quadratic formula, or solve the equation by completing the square.
Please note: x2 is ambiguous. Please write x^2 to indicate "the square of 2."
Here you have 1x^2 - 12x + 59 = 0, for which a=1, b=-12 and c=59.
Use the quadratic formula: x=[-b plus or minus sqrt(b^2-4ac)] / (2a)
to find the two roots. Notice that the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac will be negative, meaning that your two roots will be "complex."
