Write your answer with only positive exponents. y^5y^10
I guess you meant to type:
y^-5 times y^-10.
Well, y^-5 becomes 1/y^5.
Also, y^-10 becomes 1/y^10.
We now have this:
(1/y^5) times (1/y^10) = 1/y^15
To simplify the expression y^5 * y^10, we can use the rule of exponents that says when multiplying the same base, you add the exponents. Here's how you can solve it step by step:
1. Start with the expression y^5 * y^10.
2. According to the rule of exponents, add the exponents together: 5 + 10 = 15.
3. Rewrite the expression using the new exponent: y^15.
Therefore, the simplified expression is y^15.
