Multiplying and Dividing Exponents

This video tutorial explains the multiplication rule for exponents, demonstrating how to multiply numbers and variables with exponents by adding their exponents when the bases are the same. It covers examples with coefficients and complex expressions, emphasizing the importance of keeping track of signs and correctly applying the rule to both numbers and variables.
