Exponent Rules and Simplification

The video tutorial from MooMooMath and Science explains how to simplify mathematical expressions using exponent rules. It covers handling negative exponents by moving them across the fraction line to make them positive. The tutorial provides three examples, demonstrating the process of multiplying terms, applying exponent rules, and simplifying the results. The video emphasizes the importance of moving terms with negative exponents and combining like terms correctly. The tutorial concludes with a reminder to apply kindness in daily life.
