Press the button or type the symbol on your keyboard to represent multiplication. Using x for multiplication is inappropriate when z may be used as a variable. For the answer, type the base, then use the a ^ b button or type the symbol for an exponent.
Expanded form:

Give me both expanded form and the answer
And please make sure it's right
To expand the expression (-y)^4, we can multiply -y by itself four times:
(-y)^4 = (-y) * (-y) * (-y) * (-y)
Now, let's simplify:
(-y) * (-y) = y^2 (Multiplying two negatives gives a positive)
y^2 * (-y) = -y^3 (Multiplying a positive and a negative gives a negative)
-y^3 * (-y) = y^4 (Multiplying two negatives gives a positive)
So, the expanded form of (-y)^4 is: (-y) * (-y) * (-y) * (-y) = y^4
The simplified answer is: y^4
