Q. Simplify. Assume all variables are positive.\newliney32y32y^{\frac{3}{2}} \cdot y^{\frac{3}{2}}\newlineWrite your answer in the form AA or AB\frac{A}{B}, where AA and BB are constants or variable expressions that have no variables in common. All exponents in your answer should be positive.\newline______
  1. Multiply exponents: Multiply y32y^{\frac{3}{2}} by y32y^{\frac{3}{2}}.\newlineWhen multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.\newliney32×y32=y(32+32)y^{\frac{3}{2}} \times y^{\frac{3}{2}} = y^{\left(\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2}\right)}
  2. Add exponents: Add the exponents (32)+(32)(\frac{3}{2}) + (\frac{3}{2}).(32)+(32)=62(\frac{3}{2}) + (\frac{3}{2}) = \frac{6}{2}
  3. Simplify exponent: Simplify the exponent 62\frac{6}{2}.\newline62=3\frac{6}{2} = 3
  4. Write final answer: Write the final answer with the simplified exponent. y32×y32=y3y^{\frac{3}{2}} \times y^{\frac{3}{2}} = y^3
