This topic focuses on practicing operations with fractional exponents involving the factoring of square integer bases. Students learn to simplify expressions by breaking down the base into its prime factors before applying the fractional exponent. Problems involve common square integers like 16, 36, 25, 4, and 9, requiring students to factor these numbers down to their prime components and then apply the power of one-half to simplify the expression. The aim is to enhance students' understanding of exponents and factoring, fundamental skills in handling more complex algebraic expressions.
