text: Hey,\n      An exponet is how many times you mutiply the base. Meaning, if you have 3 to the fourth exponet, you will do this, 3 x 3 x 3 x 3, which equals 81. Scientific notation is hard to explain, but the best way is like this, mostly scientific notation has to do with 10's, for ex. 1.06 x 10 to the 7 exponet/power. Is all you do is move the decimal 7 places to the right, but when it is negative like this, \n1.06 x 10 to the -7 power,  you move the exponet to the left, well i hope that i helped you out!, C ya
