When you are multiplying an exponent by an exponent that is outside the parentheses you multiply the exponential values together (Remember the power rule (b^n)^m = b^(n*m)?). Then add the 4 (Remember product rules a^n*a^m = a^(n+m)?)


( y^(3))^(5)* y^(4) = (y^(15) )* y^(4)= y^(19)

Your answer is B. y^19
