Final answer:

To find the value of F in the equation C=59(F-32), isolate F and substitute the given value for C. The unrelated parts of the initial question involving other variables and a quadratic equation do not apply to solving this specific equation. If C were 0, F would equal a) 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question at hand appears to have multiple parts, but we're focusing on the equation C=59(F−32). To find the value of F when C equals a specific number, we can follow these steps:

  1. Isolate F in the equation by adding 32 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 59.
  2. Plug the given value of C into the equation to solve for F.

However, the extra parts of the question containing variables a, x, and a quadratic equation are not relevant to solving for F given the simple linear equation provided.

If we have a specific value for C, we can substitute that in to find F. For example, if C is 0 (the freezing point of water), plugging it into the equation would give us:

0 = 59(F - 32)

Dividing both sides by 59 gives:

0 = F - 32

Adding 32 to both sides gives:

F = 32

Therefore, the value of F when C is 0, would be 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which corresponds to option (a).
