In Exercises 132–135, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. There are many exponential expressions that are equal to \(36 x^{12},\) such as \(\left(6 x^{6}\right)^{2},\left(6 x^{3}\right)\left(6 x^{9}\right), 36\left(x^{3}\right)^{9},\) and \(6^{2}\left(x^{2}\right)^{6}\)
Exercises will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Evaluate each exponential expression in $$ \frac{x^{30}}{x^{-10}} $$
Simplify each expression. Assume that all variables represent positive numbers. $$ \left(\frac{x^{-\frac{5}{4} y^{\frac{1}{3}}}}{x^{-\frac{3}{4}}}\right)^{-6} $$
The early Greeks believed that the most pleasing of all rectangles were golden rectangles, whose ratio of width to height is $$\frac{w}{h}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}-1}$$ The Parthenon at Athens fits into a golden rectangle once the triangular pediment is reconstructed. (IMAGE CANT COPY) Rationalize the denominator of the golden ratio. Then use a calculator and find the ratio of width to height, correct to the nearest hundredth, in golden rectangles.
Simplify by reducing the index of the radical. $$\sqrt[4]{x^{12}}$$
