Understanding Exponents

The video tutorial explains the concept of exponents, focusing on the base and exponent in exponential expressions. It covers the multiplication of exponents by adding them and introduces the power of a power rule, where exponents are multiplied. The tutorial also discusses how to combine these rules effectively.

What does the exponent in an exponential expression indicate?

• The number of times the base is added to itself

• The number of times the base is multiplied by itself

• The number of times the base is subtracted from itself

• The number of times the base is divided by itself
