Simplifying a radical expression to rational exponents

The video tutorial explains how to rewrite numbers using rational exponents. It begins by introducing the concept of rational exponents and demonstrates how to simplify expressions like 8 to the power of 5/10. The tutorial then shows how to express 8 as a power of 2 and applies the power of a power rule to simplify further. The focus is on understanding and applying these mathematical concepts to simplify expressions effectively.
