Convert 365 days (one year) to hours, to minutes, and, fi nally, to seconds, to determine how many seconds there are in a year. Express the answer in scientific notation.
Simplify using properties of exponents. $$\left(7 x^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)\left(2 x^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)$$
There are approximately \(3.2 \times 10^{7}\) seconds in a year. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Americans consume 127 chickens per second. How many chickens are eaten per year in the United States? Express the answer in scientific notation.
Simplify each expression. Assume that all variables represent positive numbers. $$ \left(49 x^{-2} y^{4}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left(x y^{\frac{1}{2}}\right) $$
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 \(6^{2}\left(x^{2}\right)^{6}\)
