Simplifying Exponential Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a mathematical expression using exponent properties. It begins by applying the power of a power property, which involves multiplying exponents. The tutorial then simplifies the exponents and demonstrates how to multiply and add exponents when the bases are the same. Finally, it covers dividing and subtracting exponents, leading to the final simplified result of the expression.

What is the first step in simplifying an expression using the power of a power property?

• Add the exponents

• Multiply the exponents

• Divide the exponents

• Subtract the exponents
