Learning how to simplify an exponent raised to a rational power

The video tutorial explains how to simplify expressions involving exponents. It begins by introducing the concept of cubed numbers, using 125 as an example, and rewriting it as 5^3. The instructor then applies the rules of exponents, emphasizing that when an exponent is raised to another power, the powers are multiplied. The tutorial further explains how to multiply a whole number by a fraction, resulting in a simplified expression of 5 to the first power, which equals 5. The session concludes with a simplified answer and an invitation for questions.
