    400 is the co-efficient of x⁴

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (2x + y) ⁵ = (2x+5) ² (2x+5) ³ = (2x+5) (2x+5) ⁴ (breaking the exponents)

    = (2x+5) (2x+5) ² (2x+5) ² (applying the square formula)

    = (2x+5) { (2x) ² + 2 (2x) (5) + (5) ²} { (2x) ² + 2 (2x) (5) + (5) ²}

    = (2x+5) { (4x² + 20x+25) }{ (4x² + 20x+25) } (multiplying the two square formulas to get exponent of 4

    = (2x+5) { 16x⁴ + 80x³+100x² + 80x³ + 400x² + 500x + 100x²+500x + 625) }

    Summing up the equation

    = (2x+5) { 16x⁴+160x³+600x²+1000x + 625 }

    Multiplying

    = 32x⁵ + 320x⁴ + 1200x³+2000x²+1250x + 80x⁴+800x³ + 3000x² + 5000x + 3125

    Again Summing

    = 32x⁵ + 400x⁴ + 2000x³+5000x²+6250x + 3125
