| base | In a power, the number that is the common factor. in 10^3, the base is 10. That is 10^3 = 10 x 10 x 10. |
| evaluate | To find the value of an expression. |
| exponent | In a power, the number of times the base is used as a factor. In 10^3, the exponent is 3. |

| Power of a product property | a property that states to find the power of a product, find the power of each factor and multiply. |
| Quotient of Powers property | a property that states to divide powers with the same base, subtract their exponents. |
| scientific notation | a compact way of writing numbers with absolute values that are very large or very small. in scientific notation, 5,500 is 5.5 x 10^3 |
| standard form | numbers written without exponents. |
