The video tutorial introduces the concept of exponents, explaining how they indicate the number of times a base is multiplied by itself. It covers both positive and negative bases, focusing on how the sign of the result changes depending on whether the exponent is odd or even. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, showing that a negative base raised to an even exponent results in a positive value, while a negative base raised to an odd exponent results in a negative value.
