Exponent Properties and Simplification

The video tutorial covers the properties and rules of exponents, including zero power, negative exponents, product of powers, quotient of powers, power of a power, power of a product, and power of a quotient. It provides examples to illustrate each rule and progresses to more challenging problems, demonstrating how to apply these rules in various scenarios.
