Understanding Exponents

The video tutorial explains the concept of exponents, starting with the basics of bases and exponents. It covers the rule of adding exponents when bases are the same, including examples with both positive and negative exponents. The tutorial also addresses mixed exponents and demonstrates how to handle them. It further explains the rule of multiplying exponents when raising a power to another power, providing a detailed explanation of why this rule works. Finally, the video shows how to calculate the actual value of an exponent using a calculator.
