$\square$
Solution
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:
\[
\boxed{y}
\]
