Exponent Laws Explained

The video tutorial covers the laws of exponents, including how to simplify expressions using these laws. It explains key terms like coefficient, variable, and base, and demonstrates expanding exponents as repeated multiplication. The tutorial also covers multiplication and division of exponents, highlighting the rules for adding and subtracting exponents with the same base. Special cases such as negative and zero exponents are discussed, including how to handle them by using reciprocals. The video concludes with a summary of exponentiation rules.
