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

When simplifying a power raised to another power, what operation is performed on the exponents?

• They are subtracted

• They are divided

• They are multiplied

• They are added

In the expression 3^(-10) * 3^(15) * 3^(-4), what is the result of simplifying the exponents?

• 3^(0)

• 3^(-25)
