It is a base. 3x^2 (which may look like this on a page: 3x2).
Where
x is the base
2 is the exponent
3 is the coefficient.

base
An exponential equation.
Any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself. Example, 250 to the power of 1 is 250.
The exponential expression a^n is read a to the nth power. In this expression, a is the base and n is the exponent. The number represented by a^n is called the nth power of a.When n is a positive integer, you can interpret a^n as a^n = a x a x ... x a (n factors).
The base
The power could then be called an exponent. The number that is being raised to a power is called the base. In the case of 42, the exponent is 2 and the base is 4.
base
a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression
an exponent
a cubed number or a number to the third power
In a power expression, you have two numbers.The number written normally (to the left) is called the BASE. That's what tells you what factor you should multiply by itself. The small raised number (to the right) tells you how often the factor is used. It's called the EXPONENT.
An exponent.

When you raise a number to the third power, you get the 'cube' of the original number.
