In mathematical expressions, the understood exponent on the term ( y ) is typically 1 when it appears alone, implying that ( y ) is raised to the power of one. This means that ( y ) represents a single instance of itself without any additional multiplicative factors. For example, in the expression ( y ), it is implicitly understood as ( y^1 ).

When asked to divide a term with a exponent by the same term with an exponent?
If you divide two common bases, you can subtract their exponents as an equivalent operation.
What is one half y cubed inside parethesis with exponent of two outside of parenthesis?
(1/2y3)2(.5y3)2Multiply each term's exponent by 2 (remember that .5 = .51).52y(6).25y6 or 1/4y6
What is a quadratic eqation?
A quadratic equation is an equation where the highest exponent on the variable is 2. For example, the equation, y=2x2+3x-2 is a quadratic equation. The equation y=2x is not quadratic because the highest exponent on x is 1. (If there is no exponent on an x, then the exponent is 1.) The equation, y=x3+3x2-2 is not quadratic because the highest exponent is three. On a graph, a quadratic equation looks like a U or and upside down U. Here are some more example of quadratic equations: y=x2 y=3x2+2x-3 y=x2+5
What is the length of an humpback whale in scientific notation?
1.5 x 101 meters the exponent could be not written because 1 is the 'understood' exponent. 10 means 101
