Exponent Rules and Composite Problems

This video tutorial covers Level 1 exponent rules, including multiplication and division of exponents with the same base, raising an exponent to another power, and the distributive property of exponents over multiplication. The instructor reviews these rules, provides examples, and demonstrates how to solve composite problems using multiple rules. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind the rules rather than rote memorization, encouraging learners to derive the rules themselves for better retention.

What is the result of multiplying exponents with the same base?

• You multiply the exponents

• You add the exponents

• You divide the exponents

• You subtract the exponents
