y 5 * y 3 find the product?

Question

Math

Answer 1

Add exponents if the bases are the same:
(The " ^ " means "raised to" or "exponent")

y^5 * y^3 = y^8
------------------

Here's how to think about it:
y^5 = y * y * y * y * y
y^3 = y * y * y

So, if y^5 * y^3 = (y * y * y * y * y) * (y * y * y)
( or y^8 )

Good luck in your studies.

Answer 2

Perhaps I'm way off base, but I'm not sure you've correctly formatted this question. Are you asking what the product of (Y times 5) and (y times 3) are? If so, it would be better to format it as 5Y*3Y, in which case the answer would be 15(Y^2) (fifteen Y-squared)

Or did you mean (Y to the power of 5) times (Y to the power of 3)? In that case, you add the exponentials to get y^8 (Y to the 8th power).

What is the context?

Answer 3

Are the 5 and the 3 exponents?

Then just add the exponents together to get y to the 8th power.

y^3 * y^5 = y^8

Answer 4

is that y^5 * y^3?
if so... you just have to add the exponents (5 and 3) since they have the same base, which is y.

therefore y^5 * y^3
= y ^ (5+3)
= y^ 8

there you go..

Answer 5

well if u mean what i think u do it is 15y

or if ur multipling the exponents its y^15

Answer 6

what is y ? but i think i know - 15?

Answer 7

15y*y
