Question

Compare and contrast, in complete sentences, the difference between the products of y^2y^5 and (y^2)^5. Provide the expanded form and product of each.

Answer 1

When you multiply it together like y^2y^5 as they have the same base(y) we add the exponents. So, it should yield: y^7. While, when we do (y^2)^5 we actually are raising y^2 to five, so we multiply exponents, that yields: y^10.

Answer 2

Thank you so much!

Answer 3

No problem :-)

Answer 4

Love your avi too. Near is one of my favorite characters.

Answer 5

Yeah, he's quite cool. Don't know why people tend to hate him. Maybe because Lawliet was too cool :-)
