To simplify the expression \( x^{16} \cdot x^{16} \), you can use the property of exponents that states \( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \).

Applying this property:

\[
x^{16} \cdot x^{16} = x^{16 + 16} = x^{32}
\]

Now, let's look at the answer choices to see if any of them can be expressed as \( x^{32} \):

a) \( \sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3} \)

b) \( \sqrt{x} = x^{1/2} \)

c) \( \sqrt[36]{x} = x^{1/36} \)

d) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}} = x^{-1/3} \)

None of the answer choices match \( x^{32} \). Therefore, it appears there may be an error in the answer options provided since they do not include \( x^{32} \).

If you are looking for an expression involving square roots, notice that the expression \( x^{32} \) can be rewritten as:

\[
x^{32} = (x^2)^{16} = \sqrt{(x^2)^{32}} = \sqrt[16]{x^{32}}
\]

But none of the options matches \( x^{32} \). Thus, none of the provided options are equivalent to \( x^{16} \cdot x^{16} \) or \( x^{32} \).

It seems I misunderstood your request due to the available options not being directly usable.

The expression you provided, \( x^{16} \cdot x^{16} \), simplifies to \( x^{32} \).

However, none of the options you listed equate to \( x^{32} \). Therefore, based on the options you provided:

a) \( \sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3} \)

b) \( \sqrt{x} = x^{1/2} \)

c) \( \sqrt[36]{x} = x^{1/36} \)

d) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}} = x^{-1/3} \)

**None** of these options correctly represent \( x^{32} \).

If you are looking for a bonus, if you could clarify any additional context or any other expressions you would like me to help with, I would be happy to assist further.

I apologize for the confusion. Since none of the options provided are equivalent to \( x^{32} \), I will select the option that appears to be most relevant among the available choices.

Let's analyze any relevant aspects: the option most closely related to manipulating \( x \) would be:

**b) \( \sqrt{x} \) (which is \( x^{1/2} \))**.

Please note that it does not equal \( x^{32} \), but it's the simplest expression involving \( x \) from your options.
