Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule to the expression (4xy)2. According to the power rule, (ab)n=an×bn, where a and b are the base terms and n is the exponent. In this case, a=4x, b=y, and n=2. (4xy)2=(4x)2×y2
Calculate 4x Square: Calculate the square of 4x. (4x)2=42×x2 42=16, so we have: (4x)2=16×x2
Calculate y Square: Calculate the square of y.y2 is already in its simplest form, as it represents y multiplied by itself.y2=y×y
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.(4xy)2=(16×x2)×y2
Write Final Expression: Write the final expression.The final expression is the product of 16, x2, and y2.(4xy)2=16x2y2
