@freckles

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (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

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (freckles):

for number one you have your fraction upside down*

OpenStudy (freckles):

inside number on top outside number on bottom

OpenStudy (freckles):

amazing

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (freckles):

for example 4/2=?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

2

OpenStudy (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)

OpenStudy (freckles):

what about 3/6?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

0.5

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

it's an fraction

OpenStudy (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

OpenStudy (freckles):

maybe you can try the rest now

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

|dw:1441658067987:dw|

OpenStudy (freckles):

the non-fraction things there are the integers

OpenStudy (freckles):

looks great you did awesome

OpenStudy (freckles):

I'm going to leave eat now unless you have questions on this particular one

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

that's it, thanks!

OpenStudy (freckles):

have a good day
