Answer:

She made a mistake in Step 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 through 6 are correct. Only from Step 6 to Step 7 the problem comes in: both sides of the equation are multiplied by x, however the x on the left side, by error, becomes 1. The correct state in Step 7 should look like this:

x(\frac{1}{2}P-x)=256

A rectangular goat pen has an area of 40 square meters. Its perimeter is 26 meters. What are the dimensions of the pen?
xxMikexx [17]
Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

If f(x)=3x+2, find f(f^-1(14))
krek1111 [17]
F(x) = 3x + 2x = 3f-1(x) + 2x - 2 = 3f-1(x)(x - 2)/3 = f-1(x)(14 - 2)/3 = f-1(14)12/3 = f-1(14)4 = f-1(14)   f(f-1(14)) = f(4)f(4) = 3(4) + 2f(4) = 12 + 2f(4) = 14 A function and its inverse are inverse operations, like addition and subtraction. They undo each other. f(f-1(x) = x
