Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.y71⋅y74Write your answer in the form A or BA, where A and B are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.______
Identify Equation Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication, which states that when multiplying like bases, you add the exponents: ya×yb=ya+b.
Add Exponents: Add the exponents 71 and 74 together: (71)+(74)=75.
Write Simplified Expression: Write the simplified expression using the sum of the exponents: y71×y74=y75.
Check Final Expression: Check that the final expression has a positive exponent and that there are no variables in common in the numerator and denominator, which is true since the expression is y75.
