Competency Evaluation
A valuable aspect to the learning process involves self-reflection and efficacy. Research has shown that authentic
self-reflection helps improve performance and effort, and can have a direct impact on the growth mindset of the
individual. In order to grow and be a life-long learner we need to develop the capacity to monitor, evaluate, and
know what and where we need to focus on improvement. Read the following list of Core Competency Outcomes
and reflect on your behaviour, attitude, effort, and actions throughout this unit.

Section 2.1 - Exponents
Exponents
Exponents are simply the short hand of writing repeated multiplication
Much like multiplication is the same as repeated addition
Example: 2 + 2 + 2 = 3 ∗ 2
But exponents work like this
2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 = 23
Write these out as repeated multiplication.
Example:
54 = 5 ∗ 5 ∗ 5 ∗ 5
23 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
42 = 4 ∗ 4
Where it gets tricky is with negative bases, it comes down to how the brackets, if any, are used.
Here we go…
(−2)2 this means that everything inside the brackets is multiplied repeatedly
(−2) ∗ (−2)
This has a profound effect on the final result
A negative number multiplied an even number of times will always finish POSITIVE
So..
(−2)4 = (−2)(−2)(−2)(−2)
= 4 ∗ 4
= 16
Three groups of 2
2 multiplied three times
Foundations of Math 9
3 Adrian Herlaar, School District 61 www.mrherlaar.weebly.com
So when we have an EVEN POWER we can REWRITE the statement without the brackets
as a POSTIVE statement.
Watch this:
(−2)4 = 24
A negative number multiplied an odd number of times will always finish NEGATIVE
So..
(−2)5 = (−2)(−2)(−2)(−2)(−2)
= 4 ∗ 4 ∗ (−2)
= 16 ∗ (−2)
−32
So when we have an ODD POWER we can REWRITE the statement without the brackets
as a NEGATIVE statement.
Watch this:
(−2)5 = −25
Now we have covered when there are brackets
But what about when there are no brackets?
So far we know this…
(−𝑎)𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑛 = 𝑎𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟
(−𝑎)𝑂𝑑𝑑 = −𝑎𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟
This is a big deal
This is a big deal
Foundations of Math 9
4 Adrian Herlaar, School District 61 www.mrherlaar.weebly.com
Having a base that looks like: −𝒂
Example:
−2 = (−1)2
So that means that…
−23 = (−1)23
= (−1) ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
−8
−24 = (−1)24
= (−1) ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
−16
Summary
If the negative is in brackets the result depends on the exponents being odd or even.
(−2)4 = 24
(−2)5 = −25
If there are NO BRACKETS, the answer is ALWAYS NEGATIVE
−25 = (−1)25
−24 = (−1)24
Regardless of the power, even
or odd, if the base is negative
and there are no brackets the
answer is ALWAYS NEGATIVE
Even exponent, the answer is always POSITIVE
Odd exponent, the answer is always NEGATIVE

Section 2.2 – Multiplication and Division of a Common Base
Multiplication of a Common Base
When we start doing operations with exponents, ask a question…
Do I have a COMMON BASE?
o If the answer is NO, you are done
o If the answer is YES, we can continue
Example:
23 ∗ 24 Do I have a COMMON BASE? YUP! It’s 2
What am I looking at then?
Remember from earlier that: 23 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 and 24 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
So,
23 ∗ 24 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
What did I do? I ADDED the Exponents!
23 ∗ 24 = 23 + 4 = 27
Example: Simplify the Following
i) 31 ∗ 36 = 31 + 6 = 37 24 ∗ 24 = 24 + 4 = 28
ii) 55 ∗ 57 = 55 + 7 = 512 79 ∗ 712 = 79 + 12 = 721
Multiplication Rule
Must have a COMMON BASE
𝑎𝑚 ∗ 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎𝑚 + 𝑛
Foundations of Math 9
8 Adrian Herlaar, School District 61 www.mrherlaar.weebly.com
Division of a Common Base
Again, this only works with a COMMON BASE
Example:
37 ÷ 35 well we can re-write that as:
37
35
It’s a fraction and when we have the same number top and bottom we can cancel things out!
37
35=
3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3
3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3 ∗ 3=
3 ∗ 3
1= 3 ∗ 3 = 32
In other words:
37
35= 37 − 5 = 32
Example: Simplify the following
i) 125 ÷ 122 = 125 − 2 = 123 68 ÷ 62 = 68 − 2 = 66
ii) 354 ÷ 351 = 354 − 51 = 33 95 ÷ 97 = 95 − 7 = 9−2
Division Rule
Must have a COMMON BASE
𝑎𝑚 ÷ 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎𝑚 − 𝑛
Foundations of Math 9
9 Adrian Herlaar, School District 61 www.mrherlaar.weebly.com
Multiplication and Division with Negatives
It gets tricky again when we bring negatives back into the fray
We need to make sure we have a COMMON BASE
Things are not always what they seem
Example:
(−3)2 ∗ (−3)3 Do we have a COMMON BASE?
Since they are both in brackets, YES WE DO!
So we can do the same as we did previous:
(−3)2 ∗ (−3)3 = (−3)2 + 3 = (−3)5
Example:
−32 ∗ (−3)3 Do we have a COMMON BASE?
Since they are different with respect to brackets, NO WE DON’T
We need to look at how the brackets will affect the result
Will they end up POSITIVE or NEGATIVE?
−32 ∗ (−3)3
So we can re-write it like this:
−32 ∗ −33
From what we learned previously,
−32 ∗ −33 = (−1)32 ∗ (−1)33
And with some reshuffling, a now COMMON BASE and canceling out:
(−1)(−1)32 ∗ 33 = 32 + 3 = 35
Since there are NO brackets, this
will ALWAYS be negative
Since there are brackets, but the
exponent is ODD, this will END UP being
negative
Foundations of Math 9
10 Adrian Herlaar, School District 61 www.mrherlaar.weebly.com
Example:
−43 ∗ (−4)2 = −43 ∗ 42 = (−1)43 ∗ 42 = (−1)43 + 2 = (−1)45 = −𝟒𝟓
Example:
−53 ∗ (−5)2 ∗ (−5)3 = −53 ∗ 52 ∗ −53 = (−1)53 ∗ 52 ∗ (−1)53 = (−1)(−1)53 + 2 + 3 = 𝟓𝟖
Division yields the same scenario
We have to assess the BRACKET situation
Example:
−55
(−5)2
−55
(−5)2=
−55
52=
(−1)55
52= (−1)55 − 2 = (−1)53 = −𝟓𝟑
Example:
24
−22=
24
(−1)22= (−1)24 − 2 = (−1)22 = −𝟐𝟐
Example:
(−3)5
−33=
−35
(−1)33=
(−1)35
(−1)33= (−1)(−1)35 − 3 = 𝟑𝟐
Since there are NO brackets, this
will ALWAYS be negative
Since there are BRACKETS, and an EVEN
exponent, this will be positive
Always Negative Always Positive
Always Negative Always Negative
Always Positive

Section 2.3 – Power to a Power and Zero Power
Power to a Power
(23)4 means what?
o Well if 23 means: 2 𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑖𝑡𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 3 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠
o Then (23)4 must mean: 23 𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑖𝑡𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 4 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠
So,
(23)4 = 23 ∗ 23 ∗ 23 ∗ 23
And we know that when you MULTIPLY a COMMON BASE you ADD the exponents
(23)4 = 23 ∗ 23 ∗ 23 ∗ 23 = 23 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 212
Well remember that repeated addition is just multiplication!
Then a Power to a Power means that we can just MULTIPLY the exponents
(23)4 = 23 ∗ 4 = 212
Zero Power
Follow this logic:
24 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
23 = 2 ∗ 2 ∗ 2
22 = 2 ∗ 2
21 = 2
20 =? → 20 = 1
Example:
30 = 1 40 = 1 170 = 1
Watch the negatives!
−40 = (−1)40 = (−1)1 = −1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 −(2)0 = −(1) = −1
At each step I have divided by 2
So when I get to the last one, what is 2 ÷ 2?
