Power of a Product Property

This lesson explains how to raise a product to a power using examples. It demonstrates the process of expanding expressions and applying the commutative and associative properties of multiplication. The lesson introduces the power of a product property, which simplifies the process by allowing the exponent to be distributed to each factor within the product. The video concludes with a practical application of this rule to simplify expressions.
