Answer

$y^{5a+6}$

Work Step by Step

Using the laws of exponents, the given expression, $ \dfrac{ \left( y^{3a} \right)^2}{y^{a-6}} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{ y^{3a(2)}}{y^{a-6}} \\\\= \dfrac{ y^{6a}}{y^{a-6}} \\\\= y^{6a-(a-6)} \\\\= y^{6a-a+6} \\\\= y^{5a+6} .\end{array}
