Understanding Exponents and Their Rules

This video tutorial covers integer exponents, focusing on the power of zero, negative exponents, and the quotient rule. It explains how to handle exponents of zero, introduces the concept of negative exponents and their reciprocal nature, and demonstrates the quotient rule for simplifying expressions with exponents.
