Exploring Zero and Negative Exponents

This video tutorial covers the concepts of zero and negative exponents. It explains that zero exponents result in a value of one, regardless of the base, and demonstrates this with examples. The tutorial also delves into negative exponents, showing how they represent the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. The video concludes with a real-life application involving water leakage, illustrating the practical use of exponent rules.
