Answer:

7 ft by 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Our goal is to express the actual dimensions of the room in square feet.

The first dimension on the drawing, 4 1/4 in, corresponds to 17 ft of actual length of the room, as seen below:

We write and solve an equation of ratios:  

(4 1/4 in)      1/4 in

------------ = -----------  which comes out to (4 1/4 in)(1 ft) = (1/4 in)(x), or

      x            1 ft

                                 17 in-ft = x in, or x = 17 ft is the actual room length

and the actual room width is

(3 1/2 in)       1/4 in

-------------- = -------------, which yields room width y = 7 ft

       x             1 ft

Is a positive integer raised to a negative power always positive
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Many students gets confused with these exponential problems, they often get misguided but understand that there is nothing to be confused of.

When you have a negative number, you just take the reciprocal of the whole exponent number.

What is a reciprocal?

Let's take an integer for example, let's take the number 3.

The reciprocal for 3 is (1/3)

Let's take an other number, let's take 2/3

The reciprocal for 2/3 is (3/2)

In conclusion, we just reverse the denominator and the numerator or just switch it.

We take 3 as (3/1) and that is the reason, the reciprocal would be (1/3)

Now, coming to the negative integers. Taking an example:

(2)⁻¹

This would be become (1/2¹) = (1/2)

Hence, the result of a negative integer is positive but would be a fraction.

Hope I helped!
