Answer

$56x^6y^{15}$

Work Step by Step

Calculate the sixth term for $(x^2+y^3)^{8}$ by using General formula such as:$(m+n)^r=\displaystyle \binom{r}{k}m^{r-k}n^k$ and $\displaystyle \binom{r}{k}=\dfrac{r!}{k!(r-k)!}$ This implies,$(x^2+y^3)^{8}=\displaystyle \binom{8}{5}(x^2)^{8-5}(y^3)^5$ or, $=\dfrac{8!}{5!(8-5)!})x^{6}(y)^{15}$ or, $=[\dfrac{ 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5!}{5 !(3 \times 2 \times 1)}] x^{6}y^{15}$ or, $=56x^6y^{15}$
