Negative Exponents

The video tutorial explains how to simplify the expression (2/3) to the negative third power. It begins by introducing the concept of negative exponents and how they require flipping the fraction. The tutorial then covers distributing the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator, resulting in 3 cubed over 2 cubed. Finally, the video walks through the calculation of these values, leading to the final simplified result of 27/8.
