(x^5y5/3)^2

Is the 5 after the y an exponent?

Yes, 5/3 (fraction) after the y is an exponent.

To multiply the expression (x^5y^5/3)^2, we need to simplify it step by step.

Step 1: Apply the power rule.
To raise a power to a power, multiply the exponents within the parentheses. In this case, we have (x^5y^5/3)^2. So, we'll multiply the exponents 5 and 2 for x, as well as 5/3 and 2 for y:

(x^5)^2 * (y^5/3)^2

Step 2: Simplify the exponents.
To simplify an exponent raised to a power, multiply the exponents.

For x, we multiply 5 and 2.
5 * 2 = 10

For y, we multiply 5/3 and 2.
(5/3) * 2 = 10/3

Substituting the simplified exponents into the expression:

x^10 * y^(10/3)

So, the expression (x^5y^5/3)^2 simplifies to x^10 * y^(10/3).
