Exploring the Exponent Laws

This video tutorial covers the laws of exponents, including the product rule, quotient rule, and power of a power rule. It begins with a review of basic exponent concepts, then demonstrates how to simplify expressions using these rules. The product rule involves adding exponents when multiplying like bases, the quotient rule involves subtracting exponents when dividing like bases, and the power of a power rule involves multiplying exponents when raising a power to another power.
