I would first find (a - 2b^2) ^2
a^2 - 4ab^2 + 4b^4
Then the problem becomes (a^2 - 4ab^2 + 4b^4) (a^2 - 4ab^2 + 4b^4)
Distribute the first over the second
a^4 - 4a^3b^2 + 4ab^4 - 4a^3b^2 + 16a^3b^4 - 16ab^6 + 4a^2b^4 - 16ab^6 + 16b^8
Simplify
a^4 - 8a^3b^2 + 4ab^4 + 16a^3b^4 - 32ab^6 + 4a^2b^4 + 16b^8
rearrange
a^4 - 8a^3b^2 + 16a^3b^4 + 4a^2b^4 + 4ab^4 - 32ab^6 + 16b^8
So the fourth term would be 4a^2b^4 (unless I made an error up there!)
