Simplifying Exponential Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to simplify 9 squared to the third power using exponent rules. It demonstrates that raising a power to another power involves multiplying the exponents, resulting in 9 to the sixth power. An alternative method is shown by expressing 9 squared to the third power as a product of three 9 squared terms, then adding the exponents. Both methods lead to the same result, emphasizing the importance of understanding exponent properties.
