Determine where each relation is a function if it is a function then indicate if it is a linear function

Factor completely. x^8 - 1/81 a) (x^4 + 1/9)(x^2 + 1/3)(x^2 - 1/3) b) (x^4 - 1/9)(x^2 + 1/3)(x^2 - 1/3) c) (x^4 + 1/9)(x^2 - 1/3)2

The perimeter of △cde is 55 cm. a rhombus dmfn is inscribed in this triangle so that vertices m, f, and n lie on the sides cd , ce , and de respectively. find cd and de if cf=8 cm and ef=12 cm. the answer is not cd=20 and de=15. i have tried that one, it does not work.

Me because i don't understand how to do it.: )
