Answer

$-2y^{3}$

Work Step by Step

Apply the rule $(ab)^m=a^mb^m$: $(-32)^{\frac{1}{5}} \cdot (y^{15})^{\frac{1}{5}}$ Use the rule $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$: $(-32)^{\frac{1}{5}} \cdot y^{\frac{15}{5}}$ Simplify exponents: $(-32)^{\frac{1}{5}} \cdot y^{3}$ Change fractional exponents into radicals: $\sqrt[5] {-32} \cdot y^{3}$ Rewrite the radicand as a base raised to the fifth power: $=\sqrt[5]{-32}\cdot y^{3}\\ =\sqrt[5]{(-2)^5}\cdot y^{3}$ Simplify radicals: $-2y^{3}$
