3 to the negative second power is written like this:

.
When simplifying an expression with a negative exponent, you take a positive version of the exponent, in this case that would be 2, and apply that to the base.
After doing that, we have 9.
The next step is to put one over that number.
In this case, now after doing that the answer is

.
Hope this helps!
The answer to your question is c the rug will cover 14 feet of the floor
Answer:
X = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
you just gotta subtract 1 from both sides in order to find what x equals. and from there you subtract x from both sides, any letter has an invisible 1 in front, so then you divide 2 from both sides. and you get x = 4
we have
----> inequality A
The solution of the inequality A is the interval ------> [-1,∞)
-------> inequality B
The solution of the inequality B is the interval ------> (-∞,7]
The solution of the compound inequality is
[-1,∞) ∩ (-∞,7]=[-1,7]
therefore
the answer in the attached figure
