4v to the 7th power y to the 9th power and 16v to the 6th power x to the 8th power y to the 5th power
To simplify the expression:
First, let's combine the terms that have the same base. The bases in this case are 'v' and 'y'.
For the 'v' terms, we have:
4v^7 and 16v^6
Since both have the same base 'v', we can add the exponents:
4v^7 + 16v^6 = (4 + 16)v^6 = 20v^6
Now, let's combine the 'y' terms:
y^9 and y^5
Since both have the same base 'y', we can add the exponents:
y^9 + y^5 = y^(9+5) = y^14
So, the simplified expression becomes:
20v^6 y^14
