Pre-Algebra 24 - Simplifying Multiplied Exponential Expressions

Professor Von Schmohawk introduces the concept of exponents, explaining how to simplify exponential expressions by adding exponents when terms share the same base. The video covers mathematical expressions, terms, and variables, emphasizing the use of different notations for multiplication. Through various examples, the video demonstrates simplifying expressions with both variables and numerical bases, highlighting the importance of grouping like bases and adding exponents. The lecture concludes with a preview of the next topic: dividing terms in expressions.

Describe the process of simplifying the expression x cubed times x.
