Question

What is the answer to this problem ,you have to simplify

Answer 1

Y^8/y^5 When multiplying exponents with the same base, you add the exponents

Answer 2

When multiplying an exponent by an exponent you add them so y^3•y^2 = y^5 so it would be written as y^8/y^5 if you have to simplify it even further: an exponent divided by an exponent means you subtract the smaller one from the larger. So y^8/y^5 = y^3
