Exponent Rules and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to simplify the square root of a fraction with exponents. It begins by substituting base numbers with powers of 2, then simplifies the expression by factoring out common terms in the numerator and denominator. Finally, it cancels out terms and calculates the result, which is 16.
