This math topic focuses on the crucial skill of handling exponents with negative fractional bases, which expands to manipulating powers and roots involving negative fractions. The problems require evaluating expressions like "(-4 over 2) times (-4 over 2)," requiring students to navigate the complexities of fractional powers, sign rules for negative bases, and multiplication of fractions. Each question provides multiple answer choices, testing the student's ability to correctly execute and simplify these power expressions accurately. This category is part of a more extensive unit introducing the concepts of fractional bases in exponents.
