Understanding Exponential Notation

---

Exponential notation is a powerful tool used to simplify complex mathematical expressions. It involves representing a number as a base raised to a certain power. For instance, $y^3$ represents $y$ multiplied by itself three times, or $y \times y \times y$. In this article, we will explore how to simplify expressions involving exponents and identify equivalent expressions.

Simplifying the Given Expression

---

The given expression is $y^{-8} y^3 x^0 x^{-2}$. To simplify this expression, we need to apply the rules of exponents. When multiplying two or more exponential expressions with the same base, we add the exponents. However, when the bases are different, we cannot directly add the exponents.

Applying the Rules of Exponents

Rule 1: Multiplying Exponential Expressions with the Same Base

When multiplying two or more exponential expressions with the same base, we add the exponents. For instance, $y^3 \times y^4 = y^{3+4} = y^7$.

Rule 2: Multiplying Exponential Expressions with Different Bases

When multiplying two or more exponential expressions with different bases, we cannot directly add the exponents. Instead, we multiply the bases and add the exponents. For instance, $y^3 \times z^4 = (y \times z)^{3+4} = y^3 z^4$.

Simplifying the Given Expression

---

Now, let's apply the rules of exponents to simplify the given expression $y^{-8} y^3 x^0 x^{-2}$.

• We can start by combining the exponential expressions with the same base, which are $y^{-8}$ and $y^3$. Since the bases are the same, we add the exponents: $y^{-8} y^3 = y^{-8+3} = y^{-5}$.
• Next, we can combine the exponential expressions with the same base, which are $x^0$ and $x^{-2}$. Since the bases are the same, we add the exponents: $x^0 x^{-2} = x^{0-2} = x^{-2}$.
• Now, we can multiply the simplified expressions: $y^{-5} x^{-2}$.

Identifying Equivalent Expressions

---

Now that we have simplified the given expression, we need to identify equivalent expressions. An equivalent expression is one that has the same value as the original expression.

Equivalent Expressions

A. $\frac{x^2}{y^{11}}$

To determine if this expression is equivalent to the simplified expression, we need to rewrite it in exponential notation. We can rewrite $\frac{x^2}{y^{11}}$ as $x^2 y^{-11}$.

• Since the bases are different, we cannot directly add the exponents. However, we can rewrite the expression as $x^2 y^{-11} = \frac{x^2}{y^{11}}$.
• This expression is not equivalent to the simplified expression $y^{-5} x^{-2}$.

B. $y^{-24}$

To determine if this expression is equivalent to the simplified expression, we need to rewrite it in exponential notation. We can rewrite $y^{-24}$ as $y^{-24}$.

• Since the bases are the same, we can add the exponents: $y^{-5} x^{-2} = y^{-5} \times y^{-2} = y^{-5-2} = y^{-7}$.
• This expression is not equivalent to the simplified expression $y^{-5} x^{-2}$.

C. $\frac{1}{y^{21}}$

To determine if this expression is equivalent to the simplified expression, we need to rewrite it in exponential notation. We can rewrite $\frac{1}{y^{21}}$ as $y^{-21}$.

• Since the bases are the same, we can add the exponents: $y^{-5} x^{-2} = y^{-5} \times y^{-2} = y^{-5-2} = y^{-7}$.
• This expression is not equivalent to the simplified expression $y^{-5} x^{-2}$.

D. $\frac{1}{z^2 y^5}$

To determine if this expression is equivalent to the simplified expression, we need to rewrite it in exponential notation. We can rewrite $\frac{1}{z^2 y^5}$ as $z^{-2} y^{-5}$.

• Since the bases are different, we cannot directly add the exponents. However, we can rewrite the expression as $z^{-2} y^{-5} = \frac{1}{z^2 y^5}$.
• This expression is not equivalent to the simplified expression $y^{-5} x^{-2}$.
