Answer: The given product is equal to
6y^(-8).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the following product:


P=3y^(-4)* 2y^(-4).

We will be using the following property of exponents:


(i)~a^x* a^y=a^(x+y).

We have


P\\\\=3y^(-4)* 2y^(-4)\\\\=3* 2* y^((-4)+(-4))\\\\=6y^(-8).

Therefore, the given product is equal to
6y^(-8).
