Question

simplify, do not use negative exponents in your answer
y^-5* y

Answer 1

y^-5* y
=y^(-5+1)
=y^-4
=1/y^4

Answer 2

thank you! for some reason I had a brain fart when I did this question on my own and forgot that the five was negative. so my answer was 1/y^6. which obviously was wrong. thanks :)
