<em>Write any 4 laws, or properties, of exponents.</em>
<em />
<em> </em>
When we multiply together numbers with the same base,
we add the exponents.
When we divide numbers with the same base, we
subtract the exponents.
If we have a fraction to a power, we raise the numerator and
the denominator to that power.
And then last but not least,
If we have a number with a negative exponent, we flip it over.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
Explanation:
The identity we'll use is cos(-x) = cos(x) for any value of x.
So cos(-150) = cos(150).
Then locate the angle 150 on the unit circle. The terminal point is
The x coordinate of this terminal point is the value of cos(150).
