This video tutorial covers the concepts of zero and negative exponents, explaining their properties and how to simplify expressions involving them. It includes examples of simplifying expressions and applying these rules to real-world scenarios, such as modeling bacterial growth. The tutorial also demonstrates two methods for substituting values into expressions and emphasizes the importance of understanding exponent rules for algebraic simplification.
