Solve (-y^4)*(-y)^2y^3

$$( - y ^ { 4 } ) \cdot ( - y ) ^ { 2 } y ^ { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$-y^{9}$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -y to the power of 2 and get y^{2}.

$$\left(-y^{4}\right)y^{2}y^{3}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 3 to get 5.

$$\left(-y^{4}\right)y^{5}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 4 and 5 to get 9.

$$-y^{9}$$

Expand
