This math topic focuses on the simplification of negative fractional exponents with square integer bases. Students practice factoring bases and applying negative fractional exponents to them. It includes problems revolving around integer bases like 36, 25, 16, 9, and 4, which are processed with exponents like -1/2. Students aim to factorize these bases and express them in exponent form to simplify the expressions effectively. A range of possible factorizations and simplifications provides multiple-choice answers, where students need to select the correct simplified form.
