The answer is: 12 centimeters.
The explanation is shown below:
1. By definition, all four sides of the square are equal and the diagonals are equal too.
2. Keeping the information above on mind, you know that AC and BD are equal:

3. Then, the length of BD is twice BE. So, you can calculate it as following:


4. Therefore, the lenght of AC is:

4n+7−(7n−8)
=4n+7+−1(7n−8)
=4n+7+−1(7n)+(−1)(−8)
=4n+7+−7n+8
Combine Like Terms
=4n+7+−7n+8
=(4n+−7n)+(7+8)
=−3n+15
To start off, you can divide the right side of the equation by x to get rid of most of the x's so you get the polynomial x^4 - 10x^2 + 9. This means that f(x) = x^4 - 10x^2 + 9x. By factoring the right side of the equation, you get f(x) = (x^2 - 1)(x^2 - 9). I think the minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 3.
