#color(blue)((2x)^5)#

Explanation:

Anything with power 0 is 1.

In our case #y^0 = 1#

Hence the first term of the sum is #(2 * y^0)^4 = (2* 1)^4 = 2^4#

Rewriting the sum,

#= 2^4 * 2 * x^5 = 2^(4+1) * x^5 = 2^5 * x^5 = color(blue)((2x)^5)#

#(2y^0)^4*2x^5=color(blue)(32x^5#

Explanation:

Multiply:

#(2y^0)^4*2x^5#

Any number raised to the power of #0# is #1#. #n^0=1#

Simplify.

#(2*1)^4*2x^5#

Simplify #2*1# to #2#.

#2^4*2x^5#

Simplify #2^4# to #16#.

#16*2x^5#

Simplify.

#32x^5#
