      Congratulations to you...I have been half-heartedly trying to pass the math part for the past 2 yrs. Every time I take it I get closer to passing, but I feel even more confused. I hate it so much because I cannot seem to catch on. I am a few points away from passing and I am scheduled to take it again on the 24th. I am nervous and I thought to look up on UA-cam to see if I can get some extra help and found this video and your comment. It's inspiring. I hope this can help. Thank you.

    • @PurelyPersistent
      @PurelyPersistent  3 роки тому +14

      Good luck tomorrow! You can do this!!
      Scientific notation is the power of 10. For example 5x10^3 = 5000.
      Powers is the number multiplied by itself. For example 5^3 = 5x5x5 = 125
      I hope this helps!
