Write ( x^3/2)^4/3]*(x^1/4)/x as x raised to a power.

We'll write the first term of the product from
numerator as:


(x^m)^n = x^(m*n), where m = 3/2 and n =
4/3


(x^3/2)^4/3 =
x^(3*4/2*3)


We'll simplify and we'll
get:


(x^3/2)^4/3 = x^2


Now,
we'll solve the product from
numerator:


[(x^3/2)^4/3]*(x^1/4) =
(x^2)*(x^1/4)


Since the bases are matching, we'll add the
exponents:


(x^2)*(x^1/4) = x^(2 +
1/4)


x^(2 + 1/4) = x^9/4


Now,
we'll solve the ratio:


 x^9/4/x = x^(9/4 -
1)


x^(9/4 - 1) =
x^5/4

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
