Exponent Rules and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to simplify exponents raised to a power by using multiplication. It covers the rules for handling exponents with different signs, resulting in negative values, and exponents with the same signs, resulting in positive values. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, aiming to help students understand and apply these rules effectively.
