Chapter R.10, Problem 1DE

To determine

The exponential notation of $yyyyyy$.

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution:

The exponential notation of $yyyyyy$ is $\underset{\_}{y^6}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The expression is $yyyyyy$.

Consider the expression $yyyyyy$.

Since, exponential notation refers to the form in which multiplication to the number itself, is denoted such that number or base, is raised to some power called exponent.

The power refers to number of times the number is multiplied to itself.

In the above expression $y$ is multiplied to itself 6 times.

Thus, the base is $y$ and the exponent is 6.

Finally, the exponential notation is as below:

$yyyyyy=y^6$

Hence, the exponential notation of $yyyyyy$ is $y^6$.
