Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

divide y by 10, multiply 3 by the result, then raise what you have to the 6th power
Do not simplify any part of the expression.

To express the sequence of operations described, we can break it down step by step:

  1. Divide y by 10: This can be represented as \(\frac{y}{10}\).
  2. Multiply 3 by the result: We take the result from the first step and multiply it by 3, which gives us \(3 \times \frac{y}{10}\).
  3. Raise what you have to the 6th power: Finally, we raise the entire expression from the second step to the 6th power, resulting in \(\left(3 \times \frac{y}{10}\right)^6\).

Putting all of this together, the complete expression for the operations described is:

\[ \left(3 \times \frac{y}{10}\right)^6 \]
