Answer:

  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lengths is ...

  shortest : longest = (2/3) : 1 = 2 : 3

Then the ratio of the shortest to the total is ...

  shortest : (shortest +longest) = 2 : (2 +3) = 2/5

The shortest piece length is ...

  (2/5)×(35 ft) = 14 ft

The shorter piece of the board is 14 ft long.

zmey [24]
If you would like to write the polynomial in standard form, you can do this like this:

4m - 2m^4 - 6m^2 + 9

Writing the polynomial in standard form<span> means that you have to </span>write<span> the terms by descending degree:
</span>- 2m^4 - 6m^2 + 4m + 9

The correct result would be <span>- 2m^4 - 6m^2 + 4m + 9.</span>

so x = f(x) / 2

 f-1(x) = x/2

f(f-1x) =  2 ( x/2)  = 2 * x/2 = x
