identify the errors made in finding the inverse of y = x2 + 12x. An image shows a student's work. Line 1 is x = y squared + 12 x. Line 2 is y squared = x minus 12 x. Line 3 is y squared = negative 11 x. Line 4 is y = Start Root negative 11x End Root, for x greater-than-or-equal 0.

solving for the inverse of y = x² + 12x

Line 1:    x = y² + 12 x.      

Line 2    y² = x - 12 x.  

Line 3 is y²= - 11 x.

Line 4 is y = √(- 11x)  for x ≥ 0.

The error lies in Line 1. All x's have to be switched with y's and vice versa for the method to work.

As such Line 1 should be  x = y² + 12y  NOT (x = y² + 12 x)

Since Line one is wrong, it messes with all the other lines.

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
