The video tutorial explains exponents, both positive and negative, using visual methods. It starts with positive exponents, illustrating how multiplying by two results in doubling the number of dots, representing powers of two. The tutorial then transitions to negative exponents, showing how dividing by two results in halving, visualized as shaded regions of a circle. This approach helps in understanding the concept of exponents intuitively.
