Given the equation:
(1/2y^5)^3(2y^2)^4
Simplifiy the expression.
Solution:
In order to simplify the equation, we simply need to apply the rules of exponents, which states that we need to multiply the degree of the number if the number has an exponent and it is raised again by another exponent.
= (1/2y^5)^3(2y^2)^4
= (1/8y^15)(16y^8)
= 2y^(15 + 8)
= 2y^23
Final answer:
= 2y^23
