The video tutorial explains how to expand a logarithmic expression by using properties of logarithms. It begins with identifying the exponent and moving it in front of the logarithm. The tutorial then demonstrates applying logarithmic properties, such as handling division and square roots, to simplify the expression. The process is completed by working from left to right, ensuring the correct order of operations. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps involved in expanding logarithmic expressions.
