Expanding (4y^4)^2 Without Exponents

The expression (4y^4)^2 represents the square of the entire term 4y^4. To expand this without exponents, we need to understand what squaring something means.

Squaring a term means multiplying it by itself. So, (4y^4)^2 is the same as:

(4y^4) * (4y^4)

Now, let's break down the multiplication:

• 4 * 4 = 16
• y^4 * y^4 = y^8 (Remember, when multiplying exponents with the same base, you add the powers)

Therefore, the expanded form of (4y^4)^2 without exponents is:

16y^8
