The video tutorial explains the concept of negative exponents and why moving a negative exponent from the numerator to the denominator (and vice versa) makes it positive. It introduces the rule of subtracting exponents when dividing with the same base and provides a visual method to simplify expressions like x to the fourth divided by x to the sixth. The tutorial also presents an alternative method to understand exponent simplification, demonstrating that different approaches yield the same result.
