The product of x times y times x times y times x times x times x using exponents:
Count the number of x's you have in the problem. The number of x's you have would be the exponent of x. In this problem, there are 5 x's, so x%5E5
Now, count the number of y's in the problem. There are 2 y's. So, y%5E2
Now put these two expressions together with a multiplication symbol in the middle to give you your answer:
x%5E5%2Ay%5E2
