Question

Write the expression. With a single base and single positive exponent then simplify. The base price is ?The exponent is ?This simplifies to ?

Answer 1

given :

`y^(-4)(y^2)^2`

let us simplify.

`\begin{gathered} =y^(-4)(y^2)^2 \\ =y^(-4)y^4 \\ =y^(-4+4) \\ =y^0 \\ =1 \end{gathered}`

The base is y

The exponent is 0

This simplifies to 1.
