Understanding Exponent Properties

The video tutorial explains how to simplify expressions using exponent properties. It begins by applying the power of a power property, which involves multiplying exponents when dealing with powers raised to powers. The tutorial then simplifies the numerator by adding exponents of the same base. Finally, it demonstrates dividing expressions with the same base by subtracting the exponents, resulting in a simplified expression of 2 to the power of 4, which equals 16.
