Definition of a Monomial Monomial are one term algebraic expression. A term is an coefficient times a variable to a power. 7x3 The coefficient is 7 The variable is x The power is 3 Monomial powers are never fractions or negative. Monomial will never a variable as a denominator.
Negative exponents If you remember how to multiply variables, then learning about negative is easier. When you multiply like variables you add their exponents
Negative exponents When you divide like variables you subtract their exponents

You can multiply with scientific notation (3 X 104)(5 X 105) = (3X5)(104X105) = 15 x 109 = 1.5 x 10 x 109 = 1.5 x 1010
You can multiply with scientific notation (1.8 x 10-4)(4 x 107) =
