6 0

Answer:

9 + 45 + 7 = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b+c = 61...eqn 1

b = 5a...eqn 2

c = a - 2...eqn 3

subst for b and c in eqn 1...

=> a+5a+a-2 = 61

=> 7a = 63

=> a = 9

subst for a in eqn 2...

=> b = 5×9 = 45

subst for a in eqn 3...

=> c = 9-2 = 7

Let f(x)= x^2-4x-c. Find a nonzero value of c such that f(c)=c.​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The nonzero value of c will be:

  • c = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)=\:x^2-4x-c

f\left(c\right)=\:c^2-4c-c

as

f(c) = c

so

c=\:c^2-4c-c

switching the sides

c^2-4c-c=c

subtract c from both sides

c^2-4c-c-c=c-c

c^2-6c=0

c\left(c-6\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle

\:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

c=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:c-6=0

so, the solutions to the quadratic equations are:

c=0,\:c=6

Therefore, a nonzero value of c will be:

  • c = 6

If anyone could please help me with this question???I know that you can get three triangles out of the shape.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar because  the angles marked 125 are equal and the sides either side of these angle are in the same ratio:

1.3 / 2.5 = 2.6 /5.

If we are given the length of AE we would find CF from the equation:

1.3 / 2.5 = CF / AE

CF = (1.3 * AE) / 2.5.
