The expression \(x^{16} \cdot x^{16}\) can be simplified using the properties of exponents. Specifically, when multiplying two expressions with the same base, you add their exponents.
So, we have:
- Combine the exponents: \( x^{16} \cdot x^{16} = x^{16 + 16} = x^{32} \).
Now, let's analyze the response options provided to find a match for \(x^{32}\):
- Root of x: This represents \(x^{1/2}\), which is not equivalent to \(x^{32}\).
- Root index 3 of x: This represents \(x^{1/3}\), which also is not equivalent to \(x^{32}\).
- Fraction 1 over root index 3 of x: This represents \(x^{-1/3}\), which is not equivalent to \(x^{32}\).
- Root of 36 multiplied by x: This option may represent a different operation and does not correspond to \(x^{32}\).
None of the given responses are equivalent to \(x^{32}\). Therefore, the final representation we are looking for, which is not listed among the options, is \(x^{32}\).
Thus, in word form, the answer is: "x raised to the power of thirty-two."
