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

hammer [34]

Answer:

y = 5x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) = (3, 6)

y - 6 = 5(x - 3)

y = 5x - 15 + 6

y = 5x - 9

forsale [732]
X% of $28,600 is $33,500
x/100 * 28,600 = 33,500
x = 33,500 * 100 / 28,600
x = 117.13% = 117%

117% - 100% = 17%

The answer would be 17%.
