Defintions
Power-An expression made up of a base and an exponent.
Exponent-The exponent of the power shows how many times the base has to be multiplied by itself.
Coefficient-The number used to multiply a variable.
Base-The number used as a factor for repeated multiplication.
Exponential Form- A shorter way of writing repeated multiplication.

Rules of Exponents
A negative exponent means divide, because the opposite of multiplying is dividing.
A very simple explanation of Exponents:
Order of Operations
B-Brackets (Also called PARENTHESIS, hence, PEDMAS)
E-Exponents
D-Division
M-Multiplication
A-Addition
S-Subtraction
This order of operations on problems is important to remember. If the question is not read/carried out right, the answer that you get will be wrong.
Divide and multiply from left to right on the equation.
You can do the same left and right order with addition and subtraction.
In some cases, the order of operations could also be abbreviated as PEMDAS, meaning Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.
