Simplify an expression by applying a negative power to power to product rule

The video tutorial explains how to simplify expressions using the rules of exponents. It begins with an introduction to the concept of exponents and then demonstrates how to convert negative exponents into positive ones by rewriting them in the denominator. The tutorial further explains the power to product rule, which allows distributing a power across numbers separated by multiplication or division. Finally, the video walks through the complete simplification process, resulting in a simplified expression.

What does it mean to distribute a power among two numbers raised to the same power?
