Let's analyze the given property. We have a function \(f(x)\) that is positive, differentiable, and decreasing. When we draw a tangent to the graph of \(f(x)\) at a point \((x, f(x))\), the tangent intersects the x-axis at \((x - f(x), 0)\) and the y-axis at \((0, f(x))\). This forms a right triangle with the x-axis and y-axis, and the tangent line acts as the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Given that the length of chord \(MN\) (which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle) is constant, it means that the triangle's hypotenuse has a fixed length. Let's denote this constant length as \(k\).

Using the Pythagorean theorem for the right triangle, we have:

\[(x - f(x))^2 + f(x)^2 = k^2.\]

Simplify:

\[x^2 - 2xf(x) + f(x)^2 + f(x)^2 = k^2.\]

Combine like terms:

\[x^2 - 2xf(x) + 2f(x)^2 = k^2.\]

Now, we need to find a function \(f(x)\) that satisfies this equation for all \(x\) where the function is defined.

Notice that \(k^2\) is a constant, so the equation implies that \(x^2 - 2xf(x) + 2f(x)^2\) is also a constant. This means that the derivative of this expression with respect to \(x\) must be \(0\):

\[\frac{d}{dx} (x^2 - 2xf(x) + 2f(x)^2) = 0.\]

Simplify and differentiate:

\[2x - 2f(x) - 2xf'(x) + 4f(x)f'(x) = 0.\]

Factor out \(2\) and \(f'(x)\):

\[2(f(x) - x) + 2f'(x)(2f(x) - x) = 0.\]

Since \(f(x)\) is decreasing and positive, \(f'(x) < 0\), which means that the equation above holds if and only if both terms in the equation are \(0\):

\[f(x) - x = 0\]
\[2f(x) - x = 0.\]

Solve these two equations for \(f(x)\):

\[f(x) = x\]
\[f(x) = \frac{x}{2}.\]

Now, let's check if these solutions satisfy the given conditions.

For \(f(x) = x\), it's a linear function, which is both decreasing and increasing. This doesn't satisfy the requirement of being only decreasing.

For \(f(x) = \frac{x}{2}\), it is a decreasing function, and the length of the chord formed by the tangent is indeed constant (equal to \(\frac{k}{2}\)).

So, the only function that satisfies the given property is \(f(x) = \frac{x}{2}\).

Let's consider the quadratic equation \(x^2 + (b + 4c)x + c^2 = 0\).

For a quadratic equation \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) to have exactly one solution, its discriminant (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) must be equal to \(0\).

In this case, the discriminant is \((b + 4c)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot c^2 = b^2 + 8bc + 16c^2 - 4c^2\).

Simplify the discriminant:

\[b^2 + 8bc + 12c^2.\]

For the quadratic equation to have exactly one solution, the discriminant must be equal to \(0\):

\[b^2 + 8bc + 12c^2 = 0.\]

Now, we want to find the non-zero value of \(c\) for which there is exactly one positive value of \(b\) that satisfies this equation.

Notice that the quadratic equation above is a quadratic in \(b\), and we want it to have a single solution. This means the discriminant of this quadratic in \(b\) must be equal to \(0\):

\[8^2 - 4 \cdot 12c^2 = 0.\]

Solve for \(c\):

\[64 - 48c^2 = 0 \Rightarrow 48c^2 = 64 \Rightarrow c^2 = \frac{64}{48} = \frac{4}{3}.\]

Take the positive square root:

\[c = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}.\]

So, the non-zero value of \(c\) that satisfies the given conditions is \(\boxed{\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}}\).

Given the equation \(6xyz + 30xy + 18xz + 12yz + 10x + 17y + 5z = 481\), we want to find positive integer solutions for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) such that the equation holds.

Notice that all the terms on the left-hand side are divisible by \(5\), so let's divide the entire equation by \(5\):

\[5(2xyz + 6xy + 3xz + 2yz) + 2x + 17y + z = 96.\]

Now, we can see that the left-hand side is a sum of terms, each of which is divisible by \(5\), except for \(2x\), \(17y\), and \(z\).

For the equation to hold, the left-hand side must be a multiple of \(5\), and that means \(2x + 17y + z\) must be a multiple of \(5\).

Looking at the possible values of \(2x + 17y + z\), we notice that \(2x + 17y + z\) ranges from \(2 + 17 + 1 = 20\) (when \(x = 1\), \(y = 1\), \(z = 1\)) to \(2 \cdot 6 + 17 \cdot 2 + 6 = 56\) (when \(x = 6\), \(y = 2\), \(z = 6\)).

Since \(20 \leq 2x + 17y + z \leq 56\), and we want it to be a multiple of \(5\), the only possibility is \(25\) (which is the only multiple of \(5\) in that range).

So, we must have \(2x + 17y + z = 25\).

To find the positive integer solutions for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) that satisfy this equation, we can try different values for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) in a systematic way. Starting from \(x = 1\), we can substitute values for \(y\) and \(z\) that satisfy the equation \(17y + z = 25 - 2x\).

We find that \(x = 1\), \(y = 1\), and \(z = 7\) satisfy the equation \(2x + 17y + z = 25\).

Therefore, \(x + y + z = 1 + 1 + 7 = 9\).

So, the value of \(x + y + z\) is \(\boxed{9}\).

The volume of a truncated cone can be calculated using the formula:

\[V = \frac{h}{3}(A_1 + A_2 + \sqrt{A_1 \cdot A_2}),\]

where:
- \(h\) is the height of the truncated cone,
- \(A_1\) and \(A_2\) are the areas of the two circular bases.

In this case, the height \(h = 10\) cm, and the radii of the large and small bases are \(r_1 = 8\) cm and \(r_2 = 4\) cm respectively.

The formula for the area of a circle is \(A = \pi r^2\).

So, the areas of the two circular bases are:
- \(A_1 = \pi (8^2) = 64 \pi\) square cm,
- \(A_2 = \pi (4^2) = 16 \pi\) square cm.

Now, substitute the values into the formula for the volume:

\[V = \frac{10}{3}(64\pi + 16\pi + \sqrt{64\pi \cdot 16\pi}).\]

Simplify inside the square root:

\[\sqrt{64\pi \cdot 16\pi} = 128\pi.\]

Now, substitute this value back into the formula:

\[V = \frac{10}{3}(64\pi + 16\pi + 128\pi) = \frac{10}{3}(208\pi).\]

Simplify:

\[V = \frac{2080\pi}{3}.\]

So, the value of \(n\) is \(2080\), and the volume of the truncated cone is \(2080\pi\) cubic cm.

To find the domain of the function \(f(x) = \sqrt{-10x^2-11x+6+9x^2-5x}\), we need to determine the values of \(x\) for which the expression under the square root is defined.

Simplify the expression under the square root:

\[-10x^2 - 11x + 6 + 9x^2 - 5x = -x^2 - 16x + 6.\]

The expression under the square root must not be negative, as the square root of a negative number is not a real number. Therefore, we need to find the values of \(x\) for which \(-x^2 - 16x + 6 \geq 0\).

To solve this inequality, we can factor the quadratic expression:

\[-x^2 - 16x + 6 = -(x^2 + 16x - 6).\]

Now, we want to find the values of \(x\) that make the quadratic expression \(x^2 + 16x - 6\) non-negative. We can do this by finding the roots of the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 16x - 6 = 0\) and determining the intervals where the expression is positive or zero.

Factoring the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 16x - 6 = 0\) is a bit tricky, so we can use the quadratic formula:

\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.\]

In this case, \(a = 1\), \(b = 16\), and \(c = -6\), so the solutions are:

\[x = \frac{-16 \pm \sqrt{16^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-6)}}{2 \cdot 1}.\]

Simplifying this gives:

\[x = -8 \pm \sqrt{130}.\]

Since the quadratic expression \(x^2 + 16x - 6\) opens upwards (the coefficient of \(x^2\) is positive), it is non-negative in the interval between its roots. Therefore, the values of \(x\) that satisfy \(-x^2 - 16x + 6 \geq 0\) are given by:

\[-8 - \sqrt{130} \leq x \leq -8 + \sqrt{130}.\]

In interval notation, the domain of the function \(f(x)\) is:

\(\boxed{[-8 - \sqrt{130}, -8 + \sqrt{130}]}.\)

The fraction that is equal to \(0.13\) is \(26/51\).

Let's denote the lengths of the rectangle sides as \(AB = a\) and \(AD = b\). Also, let \(AE = x\) and \(DF = y\). 

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula \(\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}\).

Given that the areas of triangles \(ABE\), \(ADF\), and \(CEF\) are \(5\), \(5\), and \(10\) respectively, we can write the following equations:

\[ \frac{1}{2} \cdot AE \cdot AB = 5 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \cdot x \cdot a = 5 \Rightarrow xa = 10 \quad \text{(1)} \]

\[ \frac{1}{2} \cdot DF \cdot AD = 5 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \cdot y \cdot b = 5 \Rightarrow yb = 10 \quad \text{(2)} \]

\[ \frac{1}{2} \cdot CE \cdot BC = 10 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \cdot (a - x) \cdot a = 10 \Rightarrow \frac{a^2}{2} - ax = 20 \quad \text{(3)} \]

Adding equations \(\text{(1)}\) and \(\text{(2)}\):

\[ xa + yb = 10 + 10 \Rightarrow xa + yb = 20 \quad \text{(4)} \]

Substitute \(yb\) from equation \(\text{(2)}\) into equation \(\text{(4)}\):

\[ xa + 10 = 20 \Rightarrow xa = 10 \]

Substitute this value of \(xa\) into equation \(\text{(3)}\):

\[ \frac{a^2}{2} - 10 = 20 \Rightarrow \frac{a^2}{2} = 30 \Rightarrow a^2 = 60 \]

Since \(a\) is a length of the rectangle, it must be positive, so we take the positive square root:

\[ a = \sqrt{60} = 2 \sqrt{15} \]

Now, substitute this value of \(a\) into equation \(\text{(1)}\):

\[ x \cdot 2 \sqrt{15} = 10 \Rightarrow x = \frac{10}{2 \sqrt{15}} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{3} \]

Similarly, substitute \(xa\) from equation \(\text{(1)}\) into equation \(\text{(4)}\):

\[ yb + 10 = 20 \Rightarrow yb = 10 \]

Substitute this value of \(yb\) into equation \(\text{(2)}\):

\[ y \cdot b = 10 \Rightarrow y = \frac{10}{b} \]

Now we can use equation \(\text{(3)}\) to find the value of \(b\):

\[ \frac{a^2}{2} - ax = 20 \Rightarrow \frac{(2 \sqrt{15})^2}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{15}}{3} \cdot 2 \sqrt{15} = 20 \]

Simplify:

\[ 30 - 10 = 20 \Rightarrow 20 = 20 \]

This is always true, so any value of \(b\) will work. Let's take \(b = 1\) for simplicity.

Substitute \(b = 1\) into equation \(\text{(2)}\):

\[ y \cdot 1 = 10 \Rightarrow y = 10 \]

Now, the sides of the rectangle are \(a = 2 \sqrt{15}\) and \(b = 1\), so the area of the rectangle \(ABCD\) is:

\[ \text{Area} = a \cdot b = 2 \sqrt{15} \cdot 1 = 2 \sqrt{15} \]

So, the area of the rectangle \(ABCD\) is \( \boxed{2 \sqrt{15}} \).

Let's denote the interior angles of the hexagon as \( \angle A, \angle B, \angle C, \angle D, \angle E, \angle F \), where \( \angle A \) is the angle greater than \( 180^\circ \).

The sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is given by \( (6-2) \times 180^\circ = 720^\circ \). Therefore, the sum of the angles \( \angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D + \angle E + \angle F \) should be equal to \( 720^\circ \).

Given that Noah measured the angles \( 71^\circ, 63^\circ, 99^\circ, 112^\circ, 107^\circ, \) and \( 99^\circ \), we can calculate the sum of these angles:

\[ 71^\circ + 63^\circ + 99^\circ + 112^\circ + 107^\circ + 99^\circ = 641^\circ. \]

Now, subtracting this sum from the total sum of interior angles gives us the missing angle \( \angle A \):

\[ \angle A = 720^\circ - 641^\circ = 79^\circ. \]

So, the missing angle measure is \( \boxed{79^\circ} \).

 I can help you find the area of a regular octagon using the formula 2s2(1+√2), where s is the length of the sidehttps://www.vedantu.com/formula/area-of-an-octagon-formula. To use this formula, you need to know the value of s. From the image you provided, I can see that the octagon has a side length of 10 cm. Therefore, the area of the octagon is:

A = 2s2(1+√2)
A = 2 × 10^2 × (1 + √2)
