Exponential Functions and Basic Arithmetic

The video tutorial covers the meaning of exponents, starting with a pattern-based introduction. It explores exponential growth through a genie coin problem, demonstrating how doubling leads to large numbers. The lesson includes identifying expressions that equal a given value using exponents and concludes with homework problems and a review of exponent concepts.
