\begin{tabular}{l} Simplify. \\ \( \qquad\left(y^{6}\right)^{2} \) \\ Write your answer without parentheses. \\ \hline\( \square \)\end{tabular}

To simplify \( (y^{6})^{2} \), you apply the power of a power rule in exponents, which states that \( (a^{m})^{n} = a^{m \cdot n} \). Here, you multiply the exponents: \[ y^{6 \cdot 2} = y^{12}. \] So, the answer is \( y^{12} \).
