Radical expressions and laws of exponents
1.Why is it important to simplify radical expressions before adding or subtracting? How is adding radical expressions similar to adding polynomial expressions? How is it different? Provide a radical expression to simplify.
2.Describe two laws of exponents and provide an example illustrating each law. Explain how to simplify the expression. How do the laws work with rational exponents? Provide a third expression to simplify that includes rational (fractional) exponents. Please see attachment.

Exercise and Heart Rate The polynomial given by 1.6t - 28 + 200 calculates the heart rate shown in Figure 5.4(b) (page 317) where t represents the elapsed time in minutes since exercise stopped. (a) What is the heart rate when the athlete first stops exercising? (b) What is the heart rate after 5 minutes? (c) Describe what happens to the heart rate after exercise stops. 125. Life Expectancy Because of medical advances and improved health care, people in the U.S. can expect to live longer. From 1980 to 2005, the number of years that a 65-year-old man could expect to live beyond age 65 (years remaining), can be approximated by = 0.11( â?? 1980) + 14.1, Where represents the year. Determine the years when a 65-year-old man could expect to live an additional 16.3 years or more.

Heart Rate An athlete starts running and continues for 10 seconds. The polynomial t + 60 calculates the heart rate of the athlete in beats per minute t seconds after beginning the run, where t 10. (a) What is the athleteâ??s heart rate when the athlete first starts to run? (b) What is the athleteâ??s heart rate after 10 seconds? (c) What happens to the athleteâ??s heart rate while the athlete is running? o Ch. 5, Review Exercises, problem 122 (Alcohol Consumption) Problem found on page 367 of our text book. 122. Alcohol Consumption In 2004, about 233 million people in the United States were aged 14 or older. They consumed, on average, 2.23 gallons of alcohol per person. Use scientific notation to estimate the total number of gallons of alcohol consumed by this age group."
