This video tutorial builds on the previous lesson about exponents by introducing the concept of powers of 10. It explains that powers of 10 are a type of exponent where 10 is always the base. The video provides examples of calculating powers of 10, such as 10 squared, 10 cubed, and 10 to the fifth power, and explains the difference between exponential, expanded, and standard forms. It highlights a pattern where the exponent indicates the number of zeros following the 1 in the standard form. The tutorial concludes with a practical application and encourages viewers to practice more.
