Exponent Rules Recap and Application

This video tutorial covers the fundamental rules of exponents, including the product, quotient, zero, negative, and power to a power rules. It explains how to handle exponents in multiplication, division, and when raised to another power. The tutorial also discusses distributing exponents over multiplication and division, providing examples for each rule to enhance understanding.
