Simplify. Express your answer using positive exponents.

Question

8y^5 x 6y

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 8y^5 \times 6y \), you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the coefficients (the numbers in front of the variables): \[ 8 \times 6 = 48 \]

2. Combine the like terms with the same base \( y \): \[ y^5 \times y = y^{5+1} = y^6 \]

3. Combine the results: \[ 48y^6 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{48y^6} \]
