Exponent Rules and Simplification

The video tutorial explores the behavior of exponents and powers when multiplied or divided. It introduces key rules such as the product of powers, power of a power, power of a product, and quotient of powers. The tutorial provides examples and practice problems to illustrate these concepts, including handling negative exponents and simplifying expressions. The focus is on understanding the rules rather than calculating the simplified values.
