Power of One Practice

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is centered around the identity exponent law, which states that any number raised to the first power is itself. This law is visually represented as x¹ = x, and this worksheet puts it into practice across a series of problems featuring both numerical and algebraic expressions. Each question prompts students to apply the identity exponent law, affirming that the value of an expression remains unchanged when raised to the power of one. The worksheet includes a variety of bases, from simple integers to algebraic expressions and fractional numbers.

This worksheet aims to reinforce the understanding that any expression with an exponent of one is equal to the base itself. It teaches students to recognize that the identity exponent serves as a mathematical truth across different types of numbers and expressions. By repeatedly applying this rule, students solidify their comprehension of the fundamental properties of exponents. This practice is essential for building a robust foundation for further study in algebra, where exponents play a crucial role in simplifying and solving equations.
