Question

State each expression in exponential form.

Answer 1

ANSWER

$xy^2$

EXPLANATION

We want to write the expression in exponential form:

$(-y)\cdot(-y)\cdot x$

To do this, we simplify by applying the indices law of addition:

$\begin{gathered} (-1\cdot-1)\cdot y^{(1+1)}\cdot x \\ \Rightarrow y^2\cdot x \\ \Rightarrow xy^2 \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
