Answer 2

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A.\ y^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use}\ \dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}\\\\\dfrac{y^{10}}{y^7}=y^{10-7}=y^3$

$\text{Other method:}$

$\text{We know:}\ a^n=\underbrace{a\cdot a\cdot a\cdot...\cdot a}_{n}\\\\y^{10}=\underbrace{y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y}_{10}\\\\y^7=\underbrace{y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y}_7}$

$\dfrac{y^{10}}{y^7}=\dfrac{y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y}{y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot y\!\!\!\!\diagup}=y\cdot y\cdot y=y^3$
