Understanding Exponential Notation Concepts

This video tutorial introduces exponential notation, explaining it as repeated multiplication. It covers the concepts of base and exponent, providing examples like 2 to the third power, also known as 2 cubed. The video explains how to read exponents, highlighting special cases for exponents 2 and 3, which can be referred to as squared and cubed, respectively. Finally, it encourages applying these concepts to examples.
