Answer: 1.2x10^-2
Step-by-step explanation: To begin, we need to recognize the definition of an integer. An integer is a whole number, so it cannot be a decimal.
The square root of 49 is easily 7, so we know that is an integer and not the answer.
-3^0 is a little tricky, but the rule of exponents states that any number with an exponent to the 0 power is always 1, regardless of the number. Being that 1 is an integer, that is not the answer either.
Finally, 18/3 can be simplified to 6, which is also a whole number.
That leaves us with 1.2x10^-2, which when written in our normal notation, is 0.012, and that is NOT an integer.
