In the diagram, bc∥de .
what is ae ?

Considering that triangle ADE and ABC in the diagram given are similar, the length of AE is: 18.

Recall:

Triangles ADE and ABC are similar.

AD/AB = AE/AC

AD = 6 in.

AB = 6 + 1 = 7

AE = ?

AC = AE + 3

Therefore, considering that triangle ADE and ABC in the diagram given are similar, the length of AE is: 18.

answer: was that a question or answer?

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
