Answer:
[tex]=144x^7y^6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]16x^4y^2\left(9x^3y^4\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}\\x^4x^3=\:x^{4+3}\\=16y^2\cdot \:9x^{4+3}y^4\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:4+3=7\\=16y^2\cdot \:9x^7y^4\\\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}\\y^2y^4=\:y^{2+4}\\=16\cdot \:9x^7y^{2+4}\\\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:2+4=6\\=16\cdot \:9x^7y^6\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:16\cdot \:9=144\\=144x^7y^6[/tex]
