Exploring Operations with Rational Numbers

The video tutorial covers the concept of exponents, starting with positive exponents and moving to zero and negative exponents. It explains how to handle exponents in mathematical expressions, including the rules for zero exponents and the transformation of negative exponents into positive ones by changing their position in a fraction. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, helping learners understand the mathematical operations involved.
