When writing the verbal expression of the algebraic expression: 6Y to the 5th power how do u state the pwr?

Answer 1

Do you mean (6y)^5 or 6y^5? These both are different expressions

Answer 2

it is 6*y^5
because if u say (6y)^5 it should be said as
6Y to the 5th wholepower

Answer 3

Just the way you did. "Six times the quantity Y to the 5'th."

If you just say, "Six times Y to the 5'th" it's possible someone would think you meant (6Y)^5 instead of 6*y^5. Normaly we'd say, "the quantity six times Y raised to the 5'th power"

Answer 4

not sure of your exact question ... if your asking how you you write it out it is 6y^5 where the 5 is in superscript above the y.

Answer 5

let me take a general case, consider an expression
ax+y

then we denote the n th power of this expression as

(ax+y)^n
just use a bracket and have the power on the top just outside!

Answer 6

6Y is a product. 6Y to the 5th power is equal to:
6 to the 5th power multiplied by Y to the5th power; or:
(6*6*6*6*6) (Y*Y*Y*Y*Y); or:
6Y*6Y*6Y*6Y*6Y................................... any combination of factors willgive the same result.

Answer 7

6^5*y^5 or (6y)^5 or 6*y^5
