Mastering Multiplying and Dividing Exponents

The video tutorial covers the multiplication and division of exponents with the same base. It begins with an introduction to multiplying exponents, providing examples and explaining the rule of adding exponents when the base is the same. The tutorial then transitions to dividing exponents, illustrating the process with examples and explaining the rule of subtracting exponents when the base is the same. The video concludes with a summary of the rules for both operations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the base while performing these operations.
