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?
Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. Parts for an automobile repair cost \(\$ 175 .\) The mechanic charges \(\$ 34\) per hour. If you receive an estimate for at least \(\$ 226\) and at most \(\$ 294\) for fixing the car. what is the time interval that the mechanic will be working on the job?
What is the discriminant and what information does it provide about a quadratic equation?
Explain how to add rational expressions having no common factors in their denominators. Use \(\frac{3}{x+5}+\frac{7}{x+2}\) in your explanation.
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. If \(y=4-x,\) find the value of \(y\) that corresponds to values of \(x\) for each integer starting with -3 and ending with 3
