Simplifying Powers Using Properties of Exponents

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a mathematical expression involving powers. It begins by introducing the problem and then demonstrates how to simplify the numerator by adding exponents of the same base. Next, it applies the quotient of powers property to simplify the expression further. Finally, the video concludes with the calculation of the expression's value, which is determined to be 9.
