a room has a length of 11 ft if the room has an area of at least 133 ft what does the width of the room have to be at least

Area is the length times the width.

When you know the area and one of the dimensions, divide the area by the known dimension to find the other one.

133 / 11 = 12.09

The room needs to be at least 12.09 feet wide. ( round answer if needed).

How do i Simplify: b^8 b^4
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
It  looks like they're multiplied, then you can simply add the exponents,

b⁸ * b⁴ = b⁸⁺⁴ = b¹²

remember, b⁸=b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b and b⁴=b*b*b*b

so b⁸ * b⁴ = b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b * b*b*b*b = b¹²

A ball is kicked into the air and follows the path described by h(t)= – 4.9t^2 + 6t + 0.6, where t is the time in seconds and h
Natali [406]
I'm going to do the calculus way because it's easier
max height,
take derititive of the equation

h'(t)=-9.8t+6
find what value of t makes it equal to 0
t=6/9.8
if we inputed it for t we get
h(6/9.8)=2.43673...

2.43673...>2.4 so we don't need to change anything
