Answer:
The exponent of y is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\sqrt{y^2[/tex]
Required
Convert to fractional exponent
Here, we simply apply the following law of indices:
[tex]\sqrt{x^m} = x^{\frac{m}{2}}[/tex]
So, the expression becomes:
[tex]\sqrt{y^2} = y^{\frac{2}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{y^2} = y^1[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{y^2} = y[/tex]
From the above expression, the exponent of y is 1
