Question

In the following exercises, simplify each expression using the properties for exponents.

$y^a·y^b$

Short answer

The simplified form of given expression$y^a·y^b=y^{a+b}$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information

In the given question we have to simplify the given expression:

$y^a·y^b$

Step 1. The given expression is ya·yb

Use the Product Property, $a^m·a^n=a^{m+n}$

$y^a·y^b=y^{a+b}$
