${(2 y + 4 x^{3})}^{4}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{4} \frac{4!}{(4 - k)! k!} \cdot {(2 y)}^{4 - k} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{4!}{(4 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(2 y)}^{4 - 0} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{0} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(2 y)}^{4 - 1} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{1} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(2 y)}^{4 - 2} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{2} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 3)! 3!} \cdot {(2 y)}^{4 - 3} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{3} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 4)! 4!} \cdot {(2 y)}^{4 - 4} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{4}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(2 y)}^{4} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{0} + 4 \cdot {(2 y)}^{3} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{1} + 6 \cdot {(2 y)}^{2} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{2} + 4 \cdot {(2 y)}^{1} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{3} + 1 \cdot {(2 y)}^{0} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{4}$
