Simplifying Exponential Expressions with Exponent Rules

This video tutorial explains how to simplify fractions raised to a power using exponent rules. It covers the power of a quotient rule and the power rule of exponents, providing multiple examples to illustrate the process. Each example demonstrates how to apply these rules to simplify expressions, including handling negative exponents and converting them to positive exponents. The tutorial aims to help students understand the step-by-step process of simplifying complex fractions using these mathematical principles.
