Solution Steps

To simplify the expression \(\sqrt[4]{y^{4}}\), we need to recognize that taking the fourth root of \(y^4\) is equivalent to raising \(y^4\) to the power of \(\frac{1}{4}\). This simplifies to \(y^{4 \times \frac{1}{4}} = y^1 = y\).

Step 1: Expression Setup

We start with the expression \( \sqrt[4]{y^{4}} \).

Step 2: Apply the Fourth Root

Using the property of exponents, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ \sqrt[4]{y^{4}} = (y^{4})^{\frac{1}{4}} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Exponent

Next, we simplify the exponent: \[ (y^{4})^{\frac{1}{4}} = y^{4 \cdot \frac{1}{4}} = y^{1} \]

Final Answer

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{y} \]
