a. A mathematics professor recently purchased a birthday cake for her son with the inscription $$\text { Happy }\left(2^{\frac{5}{2}} \cdot 2^{\frac{3}{4}} \div 2^{\frac{1}{4}}\right) \text { th Birthday. }$$ How old is the son? b. The birthday boy, excited by the inscription on the cake, tried to wolf down the whole thing Professor Mom, concerned about the possible metamorphosis of her son into a blimp, exclaimed, "Hold on! It is your birthday, so why not take \(\frac{8^{-\frac{4}{3}}+2^{-2}}{16^{-\frac{3}{4}}+2^{-1}}\) of the cake? I'll eat half of what's left over." How much of the cake did the professor eat?
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. \(x^{4}-16\) is factored completely as \(\left(x^{2}+4\right)\left(x^{2}-4\right)\)
Simplify by reducing the index of the radical. $$\sqrt[6]{x^{4}}$$
Putting Numbers into Perspective. A large number can be put into perspective by comparing it with another number. For example, we put the \(\$ 15.2\) trillion national debt (Example 12 ) and the \(\$ 2.17\) trillion the government collected in taxes (Exercise 115 ) by comparing these numbers to the number of U.S. citizens. For this project, each group member should consult an almanac, a newspaper, or the Internet to find a number greater than one million. Explain to other members of the group the context in which the large number is used. Express the number in scientific notation. Then put the number into perspective by comparing it with another number.
Our hearts beat approximately 70 times per minute. Express in scientific notation how many times the heart beats over a lifetime of 80 years. Round the decimal factor in your scientific notation answer to two decimal places.
