Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((2xy^3)^4 \cdot (x^2y)^3\) using the properties of integer exponents, we can follow these steps:

1. **Apply the power of a product property** \((ab)^n = a^n b^n\):
- \((2xy^3)^4 = 2^4 \cdot x^4 \cdot (y^3)^4 = 16x^4y^{12}\)
- \((x^2y)^3 = (x^2)^3 \cdot y^3 = x^6 \cdot y^3\)

2. **Multiply the results together**:
- \(16x^4y^{12} \cdot x^6y^3\)

3. **Combine like terms (using the property that \(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}\))**:
- The \(x\) terms: \(x^4 \cdot x^6 = x^{4+6} = x^{10}\)
- The \(y\) terms: \(y^{12} \cdot y^3 = y^{12+3} = y^{15}\)

4. **Putting it all together**:
- The expression becomes \(16 \cdot x^{10} \cdot y^{15} = 16x^{10}y^{15}\).

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

**16x^{10}y^{15}**
