1.Multiply the Coefficients:
The coefficients in the expression are 5 and 3.
Multiply these coefficients together:
2.Combine the Exponents for (y):
Use the exponent multiplication rule, which states that when multiplying terms with the same base, you add the exponents. Specifically:
In this case, you have and . Apply the rule:
3.Apply the Negative Exponent Rule:
The Negative Exponent Rule states that
