The number of carbon atoms in both chains is incorrect; the lower one, with no double bond, only has 14 carbon atoms shown but palmitic acid should 16 carbons. Likewise, the top chain should have 18 carbon atoms to be oleic acid; it only has 15, which is doubly problematic, as most biological fatty acids have an even number of carbon atoms (almost never odd). Finally, the double bond in the oleic acid chain is depicted incorrectly; it should be the cis isomer, and not the trans isomer.
