Simplifying Expressions with Exponents

The video tutorial covers the quotient of powers property, explaining how to simplify expressions by subtracting exponents when bases are the same. It includes examples and introduces the product of powers property. The tutorial also explores alternative methods for solving power expressions and applies these concepts to a real-world word problem involving population density.
