ANSWER

The value of the expression is 0

Explanation:

Given the below quadratic expression


c^2\text{ - 5c - 5}

According to the question, we were given c = 6

The next thing is to substitute the value of c = 6 into the expression


\begin{gathered} (6)^2\text{ - 5(6) - 5} \\ 36\text{ - 30 - 5} \\ 5\text{ - 5} \\ =0 \end{gathered}

The value of the expression is 0
