How to use the division property of exponents to simplify

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a monomial by applying rules of exponents. It covers the basics of exponents, including how to express powers and the process of subtracting exponents when dividing. The tutorial also addresses handling negative exponents by converting them to positive, ultimately leading to the final simplified form of the monomial.
