POWER WORKSHEET
b) Parts of a power:

1→PC→ Using the “Exponent…” exercise, answer these questions:

- What is the value of a power whose base is the number 0 even if the exponent changes?

- What is the value of a power whose base is the number 1 even if the exponent changes?

- What value do the powers of any base have when its exponent is the number 0?

- What is the value of a power whose exponent is the number 1? How should we always
write them?

2→PC→ Using the “Product of powers of the same base” scene , calculate the following products and write
down the result: (you can write the numbers directly without having to move forward with the arrow)

75⋅7 8= 3
; 9 ⋅9 =
9 8
; 9 ⋅9 =
4

4 16 11
Now you alone: 5 ⋅5 ⋅5 =
II.- MULTIPLICATION of POWERS of the SAME BASE =

a m⋅an = WE GO TO THE NEXT PAGE

3→PC→ Using the scene “Quotient of powers of the same base” calculate the following quotients and record
the result:
75 ÷7 8 = 3
; 9 ÷9 =
3 9
; 9 ÷9 =
4 6
; 7 ÷7 =
6

16
Now you alone :(5 ÷5 6 )÷53 =

III. - How much is a power of zero exponent worth? a 0=

IV.- DIVISION of POWERS of the SAME BASE =

a m÷a n=
5 9 3 4
V.- In the same scene he calculates: 7 ÷7 = ; 8 ÷8 =

What is a negative exponent power equivalent to? a−n =

CHECK WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT POWER

6→PC→ Repeat the exercise “Elements of a power” writing down the first four correct results in the
following table:

POWER BASE EXPONENT RESULT

How many tries did it take you to get them?

7→PC→ Perform the exercise “Operations with powers of the same base” twenty times in the following
table. FIRST you do it here, in the table, THEN you check if it is correct on the computer by indicating the
Success or Error in the table:
Exercise Base Expon . A/E Exercise Base Expon. A/E
