Exponent Rules and Simplification

This video tutorial covers the simplification of exponents using three key rules: the quotient rule, the power rule, and the product rule. Each rule is explained with examples, demonstrating how to rewrite expressions as a single power. The video also provides insights into handling negative numbers in exponents and offers practice problems for better understanding.
