What is the exact value of the expression. Simplify if possible.

OpenStudy (ja1):

\[\sqrt16y^2 + 9\sqrt{y^8} - 3\sqrt{y^6} - \sqrt{y^8}\]

OpenStudy (ja1):

So far i have: \[4y + 9y^4 -3y^3 - y^4\]

OpenStudy (ja1):

But I think that is wrong.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Is that y^2 inside as well?

OpenStudy (ja1):

Oh yes: \[\sqrt{16y^2}\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Looks right, you can do something with those y^4 though can't you?

OpenStudy (ja1):

Yes and I got: \[4y + 8y^4 - 3y^3\]But there is no answer for that.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

What is there?

OpenStudy (ja1):

y^3 + 8y^4 9y^2 13y^3 + 2y^4 9y^7

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

That's strange..

OpenStudy (ja1):
