Answer

$16x^4+32x^3y+24x^2y^2+8xy^3+y^4$

Work Step by Step

Using the coefficients in the $r=5$ row of the Pascal's triangle, $\left\{ 1,4,6,4,1 \right\}$, and the pattern in expanding binomials, then $ (2x+y)^4 $ expands to \begin{array}{l} (2x)^4y^0+4(2x)^3y^1+6(2x)^2y^2+4(2x)^1y^3+(2x)^0y^4 \\\\= 16x^4+32x^3y+24x^2y^2+8xy^3+y^4 .\end{array}
