Determine whether each statement in Exercises 43–50 is true or false. $$0 \geq-6$$
Evaluate each algebraic expression for the given value or values of the variable(s). $$\frac{7(x-3)}{2 x-16}, \text { for } x=9$$
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?
