The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation by simplifying a rational expression using exponent properties. It begins with an introduction to the problem and encourages viewers to attempt solving it independently. The instructor then demonstrates the simplification process, explaining the properties of exponents in detail. Finally, the solution is derived by equating the simplified expression to find the value of K.

What assumption is made about the variable m in the problem?

• m is equal to zero

• m is a negative integer

• m is greater than zero

• m is less than zero
