Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newliney137y97y^{\frac{13}{7}} \cdot y^{\frac{9}{7}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.\newline______
  1. Identify and Apply Property: Identify the equation and apply the property of exponents for multiplication.\newlineWhen multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents: am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.\newliney137×y97=y137+97y^{\frac{13}{7}} \times y^{\frac{9}{7}} = y^{\frac{13}{7} + \frac{9}{7}}.
  2. Add Exponents: Add the exponents.\newline137+97=13+97=227\frac{13}{7} + \frac{9}{7} = \frac{13 + 9}{7} = \frac{22}{7}.\newlineSo, y137y97=y227y^{\frac{13}{7}} \cdot y^{\frac{9}{7}} = y^{\frac{22}{7}}.
  3. Write Final Answer: Write the final answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common, and all exponents are positive.\newlineThe final answer is y227y^{\frac{22}{7}}, which is already in the correct form.
