Operations with Exponents

The video tutorial from MathGuu.vn covers solving math problems involving exponents. It begins with an introduction and setup of the first problem, followed by a detailed explanation of exponent rules, including handling negative exponents. The tutorial then moves to a second example problem, demonstrating the application of these rules in a different context. Throughout, the instructor emphasizes the importance of applying one rule at a time to avoid errors.
