Question

How do you multiply `(2x ^ { 4} y ^ { 2} ) ^ { 4} ( 2x ^ { 4} y ) ^ { 2}`?

Answer 1

Use the order of operations to figure out the answer for the expression; since it is mostly multiplying and adding.

Explanation:

`(2x^4y^2)^4(2x^4y)^2`

Multiply the exponents to the variables within the parentheses.

`=(16x^16y^8)*(4x^8y^2)`

Since it is multiplying the two terms just add the exponents to each other.

`=64x^24y^10`
