have you written each of them in the following form: $x^\frac{b}{a}$

3. freckles

you can use $\sqrt[a]{x^b}=x^\frac{b}{a}$ if you do not see a number in place of a on the left hand side understand it to be two

4. freckles

example: $\sqrt{x^b}=x^\frac{b}{2}$

after writing each of them in that form , the next question for me to ask is do you know what an integer is?

7. freckles

for number one you have your fraction upside down*

8. freckles

inside number on top outside number on bottom

amazing

11. freckles

now reduce the fractions you will see some become integers (basically you are looking for non-fractions after they have been reduced)

12. freckles

for example 4/2=?

13. shaleiah

2

14. freckles

2 is an integer (it is not a fraction though you can write it as a fraction so technically it is still a fraction :p)

15. freckles

16. shaleiah

0.5

17. shaleiah

it's an fraction

18. freckles

1/2 or 0.5 is not an integer an integer will be in the following set: ...,-4,-3,-1,0,1,2,3,4,....100,... the dots mean it goes on forever and ever

19. freckles

maybe you can try the rest now

20. freckles

I can check your choices you make if you want me to

21. freckles

on no I forgot to write -2 in my set above :p
