Using Properties of Exponents

The video tutorial addresses a standardized math test question about exponent properties. It explains how to simplify the expression 7 squared multiplied by 7 to the negative 4 using the product of powers property, which allows adding exponents with the same base. The result is 7 to the negative 2. The tutorial then covers the negative exponent property, which converts a negative exponent into a positive one by taking the reciprocal, resulting in 1 over 7 squared as the final answer.
