Simplifying the expression, we have:


\begin{gathered} y^{(2)/(5)}•y^{(1)/(10)}=y^{(2)/(5)+(1)/(10)}\text{ (Using the product rule of exponents)} \\ y^{(4)/(10)+(1)/(10)}\text{ (Transforming the first fraction to add as like fractions)} \\ y^{(5)/(10)}=y^{(1)/(2)}\text{ (Adding fractions and simplifying)} \\ \text{The answer is y}^{(1)/(2)} \end{gathered}
