The first step for solving this expression is to multiply 4 by 4.
16x² × x[tex] y^{4} [/tex]
Remember that if a term doesn't have an exponent,, it is considered that the exponent is actually 1. This changes the expression to the following:
16x² × [tex] x^{1} [/tex][tex] y^{4} [/tex]
Now multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents.
16[tex] x^{2+1} [/tex][tex] y^{4} [/tex]
Lastly,, add the exponents together to get your final answer.
16x³[tex] y^{4} [/tex]
