Exponents and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains the basic rules of exponents, including the product, quotient, and power rules. It provides examples to illustrate how to multiply and divide exponents with the same base, as well as how to handle negative and zero exponents. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the multiplication of the base number and the application of these rules in mathematical expressions.
