Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The simplified form of given expression $y^a·y^b=y^{a+b}$

Step 1. Given Information

In the given question we have to simplify the given expression: 

$y^a·y^b$

Step 1. The given expression is y a · y b

Use the Product Property, $a^m·a^n=a^{m+n}$

$y^a·y^b=y^{a+b}$
