Ineed math a. 24 b. 16 c. 8 d. 4

Correct answer is B. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the diiagonals cut each other into two equal parts,

which means AE = CE

Given AE = x∧2 - 8 and CE = 2x

AE = CE => x∧2 -8 = 2x => x∧2 -2x -8 = 0

this is qudratic equation and we will factorize it and solve it:

x∧2 -4x + 2x -8 = (x∧2 - 4x) + (2x - 8) = x(x-4) + 2(x-4) = (x-4) · (x+2) = 0

x-4 = 0 and x+2 = 0 => x=4 and x= -2

We will accept first solution (because it is positive)  x = 4

AE = CE = 2x = 2 · 4 = 8  or  AE = CE = x∧2 - 8 = 4∧2 - 8 = 16 - 8 = 8

AC = AE + CE = 8 + 8 = 16  => AC = 16

God with you!!!

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p
