Answer

$13,440x^{4}y^{6}$

Work Step by Step

(See p. 884) The term that contains $a^{r}$ in the expansion of $(a+b)^{n}$ is$ \left(\begin{array}{l} n\\ r \end{array}\right)a^{r}b^{n-r}$. --------------- $\left(\begin{array}{l} n\\ r \end{array}\right)a^{r}b^{n-r}=\left(\begin{array}{l} 10\\ 4 \end{array}\right)x^{4}(2y)^{6}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{10\cdot 9\cdot 8\cdot 7}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4}\cdot 2^{6}x^{4}y^{6}$ $=13,440x^{4}y^{6}$
