Answer:

y^6

Explanation:

When multiplying terms with exponents that have the same base, the rule is to add the exponents. y * y^3 * y^2 = y^(1 + 3 + 2). (remember that y has a hidden exponent of 1, we just don't write that because it is redundant and unnecessary). y^(1 + 3 + 2) = y^6

hope this helps! <3
