Exploring the Subtraction Law of Exponents

The video tutorial covers the subtraction law of exponents, starting with a recap of previous lessons on additive and power laws. It introduces the concept of 'giant ones' for simplification and explains how to apply the subtraction law of exponents through various examples. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of checking work and submitting assignments correctly.
