Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so I will explain the first one.
2 to the power of 4 = 2x2x2x2
2 to the power of 6 = 2x2x2x2x2x2
2 to the power of 4 = 2x2x2x2
2^4 = 16
2^6 = 64
When you are multiplying powers you add.
+
When you subtract you takeaway.
-
So you would do
4+6+4
= 14
Meaning 2 to the power of 14
2
So what is 2 to the power of 14.
You would do
2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2
The answer is 16384

Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
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.
