Answer:

D.
\displaystyle (x - 5)^2 = 36

Explanation:

All you are doing is converting this Quadratic Equation to a Vertex Equation in Vertex Form by completing the square:


\displaystyle [(b)/(2)]^2 \\ \\ x^2 - 10x - 11 = 0 → x^2 - 10x + 25 - 36 = 0→ (x - 5)^2 - 36 = 0 \\ \\ (x - 5)^2 = 36

It is that simple, is it not?

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
