Placing a question mark at the end of a phrase does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered. There are many arithmetical operations that can combine a negative integer and a rational number.
Absolutely. Only fractions can be irrational, numerically speaking (people can also be irrational, but that's a different use of the word).
When the number can be expressed as a ratio of the form p/q where p and q are integers and in their simplest form, q >1.
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
You can use any number - rational or otherwise - as an exponent.

it is a whole number, and not an integer because you cannot have a negative circumference.

That doesn't make sense! type back and explain it better please!

You use a negative rational number when an answer is below zero.

There are more than a math term that use "order". They are:the cardinality or the number of elements in the set in group theory.the smallest positive integer n such that aⁿ = identity.a sub-ring of the ring that satisfies some conditions:That given ring is a ring which is finite-dimensional algebra over the rational number field.The sub-ring spans over the rational root field, such the product of rational number field and the sub-ring is the ring.The sub-ring is the positive-integer lattice of the ring.

Rational exponents are exponents that are fractions or decimals. They are related to integer exponents because they represent a different way of expressing the same mathematical operation. For example, an integer exponent of 2 represents squaring a number, while a rational exponent of 1/2 represents taking the square root of a number.
A fraction is a number that expresses part of a whole as a quotient of integers (where the denominator is not zero).A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a quotient of integers (where the denominator is not zero), or as a repeating or terminating decimal. Every fraction fits the first part of that definition. Therefore, every fraction is a rational number.But even though every fraction is a rational number, not every rational number is a fraction.Why? Consider this:Every integer (all the whole numbers, including zero, and their negatives....-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3...) is a rational number, because it can be expressed as a quotient of integers, as in the case of 4 = 8/2 or 1 = 3/3 or -3 = 3/-1 and so on. So integers such as 4 or 1 can be expressed as the quotient of integers.But an integer is not a fraction. 4 is an integer, but it is not a fraction. 4 is not expressed as the quotient of integers. The difference here is in the wording.A fraction is a number that expresses part of a whole. An integer does not express a part. It only expresses a whole number.A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a quotient of integers, or as part of a whole, but fraction is a number that is (must be) expressed as a quotient of integers, or as part of a whole - there is a difference. The difference is subtle, but it is real.In a nutshell, the fractions are a subset of the rational numbers. The rational numbers contain the integers, and fractions don't.Note: Mathematicians do not generally use the term "fractions." They usually only talk about rational numbers. Fractions are more or less a term that is used for pedagogical reasons.It's kind of funny. Someone uses a term not used in math to teach math, then makes up tons of tests about "fractions, improper and proper fractions," etc. and tests you on them, even though they are not mathematical terms. Go figyah!
