Simplify by reducing the index of the radical. $$ \sqrt[9]{x^{6}} $$
In parts (a) and (b), complete each statement. $$\text { a. } b^{4} \cdot b^{3}=(b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b)(b \cdot b \cdot b)=b^{?}$$ $$\text { b. } b^{5} \cdot b^{5}=(b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b)(b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b \cdot b)=b^{7}$$ c. Generalizing from parts (a) and (b), what should be done with the exponents when multiplying exponential expressions with the same base?
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$ 5^{-2}>2^{-5} $$
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. My mathematical model describes the data for tuition and fees at public four-year colleges for the past ten years extremely well, so it will serve as an accurate prediction for the cost of public colleges in 2050.
Read the Blitzer Bonus on page \(47 .\) The future is now: You have the opportunity to explore the cosmos in a starship traveling near the speed of light. The experience will enable you to understand the mysteries of the universe in deeply personal ways, transporting you to unimagined levels of knowing and being. The downside: You return from your two-year journey to a futuristic world in which friends and loved ones are long gone. Do you explore space or stay here on Earth? What are the reasons for your choice?
