Exploring the Properties of Exponents

This video tutorial covers the properties of exponents, including the product, quotient, and power rules. It provides examples to illustrate each rule and demonstrates how to simplify expressions using these properties. The tutorial also addresses common mistakes and offers strategies for verifying results by expanding exponents. The video concludes with complex problems that require applying multiple exponent rules.
