using the ratio, the length of the sides are:

25x + 14x + 12x = 170

51x = 170

x = 170 / 51

x = 3 1/3

The lengths of the sides are: 25 * 3 1/3 = 83 1/3 feet

14 x 3 1/3 = 46 2/3 feet

12 x 3 1/3 = 40 feet

Using Heron's formula

the semi perimeter (S) = 170/2 = 85 ft.

The area of the triangle = SQRT(S*(S-83 1/3) * (S - 46 2/3) * (S-40))

= SQRT (85 * (85-83 1/3) * (85 - 46 2/3) * (85-40)

= SQRT (85 * 1 2/3 * 38 1/3 * 45)

= SQRT(244374)

= 494.34 square feet ( round answer as needed).

The solution is where the red line crosses the blue line, which on the X axis is between the 1 and the 2, so about 1.5.

Convert the fractions to decimal and see which one is  close to 1.5:

13/8 = 1.625

25/16 = 1.5625

7/4 = 1.75

27/16 = 1.6875

The closest one to 1.5 is 25/16

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=x^2+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of a function is when the x and y are swapped. So the first step is to write f(x) as y and then swap the x and y

Original Equation:

f(x)=\sqrt{x-1}\\

write f(x) as y (since that's what it represents)

y=\sqrt{x-1}

Swap x and y

x=\sqrt{y-1}

Square both sides

x^2=y-1

Add 1 to both sides

x^2+1=y

So this gives you the equation:

f^{-1}(x)=x^2+1
