z

Work Step by Step

We are given the expression $yz^{5}$. Recall that an exponential expression consists of a factor, known as the base, and an exponent. The number of times that the base is multiplied is indicated by the value of the exponent. Therefore, z is the base of the exponent 5. Multiplied out, $yz^{5}=y(z\times z\times z\times z\times z)$
