1.Simplify:
(y^4) (y^3)
When multiplying/dividing, exponents are added/subtracted respectively.
To simplify the expression (y^4) * (y^3), you need to use the exponent property that states: when you multiply two terms with the same base, you need to add their exponents.
In this case, the base is "y," and we have (y^4) multiplied by (y^3).
To simplify, add the exponents together:
y^4 * y^3 = y^(4+3)
Simplifying further:
y^(4+3) = y^7
So, the simplified expression is y^7.
