Exploring the Laws of Exponents

The video tutorial covers the laws of exponents, focusing on the product law, quotient law, power of a power rule, and power of a product rule. Each law is explained with examples to help grade 7 students understand how to apply these rules in mathematical expressions. The teacher emphasizes the importance of correctly adding, subtracting, and multiplying exponents based on the specific law being applied.

What happens when you multiply two exponents with the same base?

• Multiply the exponents

• Add the exponents

• Subtract the exponents

• Divide the exponents
