CURRIKI ALGEBRA UNIT 2 Lesson 2.6: Understanding Scientific Notation Linear and Exponential Relationships Vocabulary Page Teacher Edition 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 For a number in scientific notation, the first part of the number is called the coefficient. Example: In 3.76 x 108, 3.76 is the coefficient. Scientific Notation A number in the form of a x 10x, where a is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Example: The number 54,000,000 in scientific notation is 5.4 x 107. 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.
