Question

Simplify x^3y^2 • y^4

Answer 1

Answer

$\boxed {x^{3} y^{6}}$

Solution

You would only need to combine the like terms in this problem.

$y^{2} + y^{4}= y^{6}$

Therefore, the answer would be

$\boxed {x^{3} y^{6}}$

Answer 2

Rule for multiplication exponents with the same base is

$y^{a}*y^{b}=y^{a+b}$, so

x³y²*y⁴ = x³y²⁺⁴ = x³y⁶
