To expand and rewrite \((4x^3 + y^4)^2\) as a polynomial in standard form, we follow a similar approach to the example you provided.

  1. Identify the expression: \[ (4x^3 + y^4)^2 \]

  2. Expand the power: \[ (4x^3 + y^4)(4x^3 + y^4) \]

  3. Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials):

    • First: \((4x^3)(4x^3) = 16x^{6}\)
    • Outer: \((4x^3)(y^4) = 4x^3y^4\)
    • Inner: \((y^4)(4x^3) = 4x^3y^4\)
    • Last: \((y^4)(y^4) = y^{8}\)

  4. Combine the results: \[ 16x^{6} + 4x^3y^4 + 4x^3y^4 + y^8 \]

  5. Combine like terms: \[ 16x^{6} + 8x^3y^4 + y^8 \]

  6. Write the final answer in standard form: \[ 16x^{6} + 8x^3y^4 + y^8 \]

Thus, the expanded form of \((4x^3 + y^4)^2\) is: \[ \boxed{16x^{6} + 8x^3y^4 + y^8} \]
