How do you multiply two terms with exponents, if they have the same base?

When you multiply two numbers or variables with the same base, you simply add the exponents. When you multiply expressions with the same exponent but different bases, you multiply the bases and use the same exponent.

Hope this helps!

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation

one fourth of 9% = 2.25%

gavin is correct in saying : the equivalent quarterly interest rate would be

2.25%.
