The video tutorial explains how to rewrite exponential expressions by manipulating their bases and using exponent properties. It starts with an introduction to the concept, followed by setting up a problem involving expressions with different bases. The tutorial demonstrates how to convert these expressions to a common base and combine them using exponent rules. Finally, it simplifies the expression to find the function f(x).

What is the main focus of the video?

• Solving quadratic equations

How can 27 be expressed as a power of 3?

• 3 to the 2nd power

• 3 to the 5th power

• 3 to the 3rd power

• 3 to the 4th power

What is the exponent rule used when an exponent is raised to another exponent?

• Divide the exponents

• Multiply the exponents

• Subtract the exponents

• Add the exponents

What is the result of 3 to the 3rd power raised to the x?

• 3 to the 6x

• 3 to the 3x

• 3 to the x

• 3 to the 9x

What do you do with the exponents when multiplying expressions with the same base?
