Question

Write each Expression as a single power of y

Hey guys. I really need your help right now. Is is possible if you could give me a step-by-step instruction?

Answer 1

`y^(7)`

Explanation:

Given the exponents:
`(y^(5))(y^(2))`:

You can apply the Product Rule of Exponents:

`(a^(m))(a^(n)) = a^((m + n))`

Since you have the same base (y), then you can simply add their exponents:

`(y^(5))(y^(2)) = y^((5 + 2)) = y^(7)`

Hope you find this explanation helpful :)
