Answer: I will give you hints but not straight up answers kay?

Explanation:

In fact, you have undoubtledly encountered non-integer exponents in the past, though you might not have been aware of it at the time! The simplest non-integer power is the square root. Let us review what we do when we take the square root of a number. In taking a square root of 4 for instance, we ask ourselves what number(s) can by multiplied by themselves once in order to give 4? The answer is: well 2 × 2 gives 4 and so does (-2) × (-2). Thus, +2 or -2 raised to the power of 2 gives 4. So the square root of 4 is equal to ±2 (the notation "±" means "plus or minus"). Thus, if Sqrt is to denote the process of taking the square root we have:

22 = 4

Sqrt(22) = Sqrt(4)

2 = Sqrt (4)
