Simplify using the quotient rule, if possible. $$\frac{y^{8}}{y^{2}}$$ your choice. A. $\frac{y^{8}}{5^{2}}=$ $\square$ (Type exponential notation with positive exponents.) B. The expression cannot be simplified.

Studdy Solution
Apply the quotient rule for exponents, which states:
$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$
In this case, apply the rule to get:
$\frac{y^{8}}{y^{2}} = y^{8-2}$
Simplify the exponent:
$y^{8-2} = y^{6}$
Thus, the simplified expression is:
$\boxed{y^{6}}$
