Simplifying Exponential Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to find an equivalent expression for a given expression using division and the quotient property. The instructor demonstrates the process by simplifying each part of the expression separately, applying the quotient property to handle exponents, and rewriting expressions with negative exponents. The final expression is presented, and the instructor concludes by summarizing the method used.
