GCSE Maths - What to do when a Fraction has a Power (Powers Part 4/6) #32

The video tutorial explains how to apply powers to fractions by addressing the numerator and denominator separately. It provides three examples: squaring a fraction, raising a fraction to a power, and simplifying a fraction before applying a power. The key concept is to apply the power to both the numerator and denominator individually, and when raising a power to another power, multiply the exponents. The tutorial also covers simplifying fractions with the same base before applying powers.
