What notation do we use to write large numbers in a shorthand, simplified manner?
Scientific Notation
Which is larger 3.629 x 10^6 or 9 x 10^5. Explain how you know.
Sahara, because the exponent is bigger.
When something is described as this, it means it is growing fast
Exponential

Explain all the Rules of exponents
Product Rule: a^3*a^4 = a^7
Quotient Rule: a^5/a^3 = a^2
Power Rule: (a^2)^2 = a^4
Power of a Product Rule (a*b)^2 = a^2*b^2
Negative Power Rule: a^-2 = 1/a^2
Zero Power Rule: a^0 = 1
