Answer:

The value of c is 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A perfect square trinomial is of the form

(x-a)^{2}=x^{2}-2ax+a^{2}

In this problem we have

x^{2}-7x+c

so

equate the equations

x^{2}-7x+c=x^{2}-2ax+a^{2}

we have

the following equations

-7x=-2ax -----> equation A

and

c=a^{2} -----> equation B

<u>Solve the equation A</u>

-7x=-2ax

7=2a

a=3.5

<u>Solve the equation B</u>

c=a^{2}

c=3.5^{2}=12.25

therefore

(x-3.5)^{2}=x^{2}-7x+12.25

The value of c is 12.25

Answer:

49/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To make x2-7x+c a perfect square trinomial we do it by completing the square method. First, make half of the coefficient of x then add and subtract by squaring it. c=49/4 this is the required value of c.

GalinKa [24]

Answer: 2.9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Rate of filing the tank =  12 gallons per minute

Total volume of reservoir = 35 gallons

Time taken to fill the reservoir = \dfrac{\text{Total volume of reservoir }}{\text{Rate of filing the tank}}

=\dfrac{35}{12}\approx2.9

hence, time taken to fill the reservoir = 2.9 minutes.
