Here's a photo for better reference of the problem:

Answer 1

Step 1. Use Multiplication Distributive Property 
4*3^3(x^2)^3(y^4)^3
Step 2. Simplify 3^3 to 27
4*27(x^2)^3(y^4)^3
Step 3. Use the Power Rule
4*27x^6(y^4)^3
Step 4. Use the Power Rule
4*27x^6y^12
Step 5. Simplify.
The answer is 108x^6y^12
