Exploring Exponent Properties

The video tutorial delves into the properties of exponents, covering topics such as the product of powers, power of a power, power of a product, quotient of powers, and handling negative and zero exponents. It provides detailed explanations and examples to simplify expressions involving exponents. The tutorial also includes a practical example of calculating the area of a triangle using exponent rules.
