Review these scientific notation specific vocabulary words prior to the lesson.
Base
The part of an exponential expression that is raised to the power.
Example: For x3, the x is the base.
Exponent
Also called the power, it is the number a base is raised to.
Example: in x3, the number 3 is the exponent.
Coefficient

called the coefficient.
Example: In 3.76 x 108, 3.76 is the coefficient.

Numerical Form
A number in numerical form is written out in digits, not words or
symbols.
Example: The number 2 million in numerical form is 2,000,000.
The number 2.3 x 104 in numerical form is 23,000.
