How do you use the rules of exponents when multiplying monomials by monomials

The video tutorial focuses on practicing the multiplication of monomials. It begins with an introduction to the topic, emphasizing the importance of understanding the process. The teacher explains that unlike addition, multiplying monomials does not require like terms. An example problem is provided, demonstrating the multiplication of coefficients and the application of exponent rules. The tutorial concludes with a review of the rules and previous practice exercises.
