When multiplying variables with exponents, all you have to do is to add the exponents and that’s the ‘product.’

So;

(3y^10)(2y^2) is equal to (3)(2)(y^10+2).

6y^12/8y^5


When dividing exponents, you do the opposite and subtract the exponents. And you divide the whole number by half.


6y^12/8y^5 = 3y^7/4
