y^5*y^14=

A. 2y^19
B. y^60
C. y^19
D. 2y^60
A?
Thanks

No, A is not the answer.

I hope this helps! :)

B is also not the answer.

D. sorry I think I was putting the wrong answer in.

D isn't the answer either.

The answer is C.

When combining these two terms together, you have to add the exponents together. And since the terms both have y as the base, you just keep the y there, and not turn it into 2y.

Therefore, C is the correct answer, and not D.

I hope this helps you understand! :)

P.S. This whole entire problem is the same as multiplying with like bases!

To simplify the expression y^5 * y^14, you can add the exponents together because the bases (y) are the same. The rule for multiplying variables with the same base is to add the exponents.

So, y^5 * y^14 becomes y^(5+14) = y^19.

Therefore, the answer is C. y^19.
