Answer:

First mistake was in Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = x² - |x| and we find f(-x), we get:

f(-x) = (-x)² - | - x |

f(-x) = x² - | x |

Therefore, her first mistake was in Step 1 because she changed the sign of |x| and

|x| = |-x|

So, the answer is:

First mistake was in Step 1
