The length of a rectangular floor is 2 feet more than its width. The area of the floor is 168 square feet. Kim wants to use a ru
ioda
Let width of the floor be x feet, them area is
x(x+2)  = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x - 12)(x + 14) - 0
so x = 12
the floor is 12 ft by 10 ft

the width of the rug should be 10 - 2(2) = 6 feet

What is 2X to the power of 3 divided by -8X to the power of 4?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: 8 = 23 (-8)4 = (23)4 = 212

1/(2048x)

Step-by-step explanation:Negative number raised to an even power is positive

For example let's look at (-7)6 , where (-7) , a negative number, is raised to 6 , an even exponent :

(-7)6 can be written as (-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)

Now, using the rule that says minus times minus is plus, (-7)6 can be written as (49)•(49)•(49) which in turn can be written as (7)•(7)•(7)•(7)•(7)•(7) or 76 which is positive.

We proved that (-7)6 is equal to (7)6 which is a positive number

Using the same arguments as above, replacing (-7) by any negative number, and replacing the exponent 6 by any even exponent, we proved which had to be proved

Dividing exponential expressions :  x3 divided by x4 = x(3 - 4) = x(-1) = 1/x1 = 1/x

Final result :

1/2048x

Step-by-step explanation:

* usually means multiplication

If you had an open circle there, please let me know.

Find h(10) and then multiply that answer to itself.

h(10)=6-10=-4

So the answer is -4*-4=16
