Simplify a^4a^11a^y

$a^{4} \cdot a^{11} \cdot a^{y}$

Step 1

Multiply $a^{4}$ by $a^{11}$ by adding the exponents.

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$a^{4 + 11} \cdot a^{y}$

Add $4$ and $11$ .

$a^{15} \cdot a^{y}$

Step 2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$a^{15 + y}$

Simplify a^4*a^11*a^y
