Answer:

Area = 960 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter (P) = 2 (l + w)

P = 2l + 2w

Let the length be 5x

Let the width be 3x

From the question, P = 128.

Therefore:

128 = 2l + 2w

Divide both sides by 2.

l + w = 64

Recall we said:

l = 5x

w = 3x

So then:

5x + 3x = 64

8x = 64

Divide both sides by 8

x = 64/8

x = 8.

Since x = 8

Length = 5x = 5*8 = 40cm

Width =3x = 3 * 8 = 24cm

Area of a RECTANGLE:

Area = length * width

Area = 40 * 24

Area = 960 cm^2

If f(x) = 11x – 5, then f^-1(x)=

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: $f^-^1(x)=\frac{x+5}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, you replace the x with y, and y with x.

$x=11y-5$ [add 5 on both sides]

$x+5=11y$ [divide both sides by 11]

$\frac{x+5}{11} =y$

$f^-^1(x)=\frac{x+5}{11}$
