Exponent Rules and Simplification

The video tutorial covers the properties of exponents, including zero and negative exponents, and how to handle them. It explains the rules for multiplying and dividing exponents, as well as applying exponents to products and quotients. The tutorial also includes examples and exercises for practice, and concludes with solving word problems using scientific notation.
