Understanding the Power of a Product

The video tutorial explains the concept of the power of a product, where multiple terms are multiplied and raised to a power. It covers the rules for distributing exponents to all terms inside parentheses, including coefficients and bases. The tutorial provides three examples to illustrate the process of multiplying exponents and simplifying coefficients, demonstrating calculations with positive and negative bases.

What is the power of a product?

• Dividing terms and then raising them to a power

• Subtracting terms and raising them to a power

• Multiplying terms and then raising them to a power

• Adding terms and raising them to a power
