1. Calculate and simplify completely:

4 10 + = 3 11

2. Expand and simplify completely: (x − 4)(2x2 + x + 1) = 3. Simplify completely: x4 x10 = √ x5 + x = 4. Simplify completely: x2 5. Factor completely: x2 − 17x + 72 = 6. Find all solutions to 4x + 3 = 22; x = 7. Find all solutions to x3 − x = 0; x = 8. Find all solutions to x2 − 6 = x; x =
