Exponential Functions and Basic Arithmetic

The video tutorial covers the meaning of exponents, starting with a visual pattern to introduce the concept. It then explores exponential growth through a hypothetical problem involving a magical coin that doubles daily. The lesson continues with evaluating exponential expressions and concludes with activities and homework to reinforce the concepts learned.
