The video calls the time complexity $O(2^n)$ "exponential complexity". This terminology is used to classify complexities that grow as a power of 2 with respect to the input size $n$.

Conditions: The complexity has the form $O(2^n)$ or similar exponential growth.; The context is the naming and classification of the derived time complexity.

By summing the number of nodes across all levels, the total size of the tree is estimated. The video uses the finite geometric series example $2^0+2^1+\cdots+2^6=2^7-1$ to show that the sum is dominated by the highest-order term.

Conditions: Time cost is measured by the number of recursive calls.; An upper bound estimation using a perfect binary tree is adopted.; The sum starts from $2^0$ with a common ratio of 2.

The video mentions this specific finite geometric series sum to provide a concrete example that illustrates the growth trend of summing the nodes across all levels of the recursion tree. It demonstrates that the total sum is dominated by the highest power, supporting the intuitive derivation of the $O(2^n)$ time complexity.

Conditions: The sum starts from $2^0$.; The common ratio is 2.; The last term is $2^6$.
