Understanding Exponent Rules and Simplification

Mr. Haibach presents a home workout video for lesson 2.1 on integer exponents. The video covers various example problems, demonstrating how to simplify expressions with the same bases, multiply coefficients, apply the power of a power rule, and simplify fractions with exponents. The lesson is divided into sections, each focusing on a specific type of problem, and concludes with a summary of the key concepts covered.
