Answer:

Option C. 26\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles ADE and ABC are similar by AA similarity postulate

AB=2AD

Apply proportion

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{AD}{2AD}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\12x+4=16x-12\\ \\16x-12x=4+12\\ \\4x=16\\ \\x=4\ units

Find the length of segment DE

DE=8x-6=8(4)-6=26\ units

For which function is f(x) equal to f^-1(x)?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
We will find the inverse of the given functions:
 y = x + 2 / x-2
 (x-2) y = x + 2
 -2y + xy = x + 2
 -2y + xy = x + 2
 x (y - 1) = 2 + 2y
 x (y - 1) = 2 (y + 1)
 x = 2 (y + 1) / (y - 1)
 f (x) ^ - 1 = 2 (x + 1) / (x - 1)
 The inverse is different.
 f (x) = x + 1 / x-1
 
y = x + 1 / x-1
 (x-1) y = x + 1
 -y + xy = x + 1
 x (y - 1) = 1 + y
 x (y - 1) = (y + 1)
 x = (y + 1) / (y - 1)
 f (x) ^ - 1 = (x + 1) / (x - 1)
 The inverse is the same.
 Answer:
 
f (x) = x + 1 / x-1
 
f (x) ^ - 1 = (x + 1) / (x - 1)
 f (x) = f (x) ^ - 1
