Understanding Exponential Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to expand and multiply exponential expressions by identifying the base and exponent. It provides examples of expanding expressions like 5 squared, 4 cubed, and 3 to the 5th power, demonstrating how the exponent indicates the number of times the base is multiplied by itself. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the concepts covered.
