Multiply (8y)(8+y)(8-y)(8+y) and simplify the result.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to multiply the two binomials: (8y)(8-y) and (8+y)(8+y).
2. We will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method) to expand the product of these two binomials.

STEP 2

The distributive property states that for any real numbers aa, bb, and cc:
(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
We will apply this property to the given binomials.

STEP 3

Identify the terms in the binomials that will be multiplied together:
First terms: 88 and 88. Outer terms: 88 and yy. Inner terms: y-y and 88. Last terms: y-y and yy.

STEP 4

Multiply the first terms:
Firstterms=8×8First\, terms = 8 \times 8

STEP 5

Multiply the outer terms:
Outerterms=8×yOuter\, terms = 8 \times y

STEP 6

Multiply the inner terms:
Innerterms=y×8Inner\, terms = -y \times 8

STEP 7

Multiply the last terms:
Lastterms=y×yLast\, terms = -y \times y

STEP 8

Calculate the products from steps 4 to 7:
Firstterms=8×8=64First\, terms = 8 \times 8 = 64 Outerterms=8×y=8yOuter\, terms = 8 \times y = 8y Innerterms=y×8=8yInner\, terms = -y \times 8 = -8y Lastterms=y×y=y2Last\, terms = -y \times y = -y^2

STEP 9

Combine the products:
64+8y8yy264 + 8y - 8y - y^2

STEP 10

Notice that 8y8y and 8y-8y are like terms and will cancel each other out:
64+8y8yy2=64y264 + 8y - 8y - y^2 = 64 - y^2

STEP 11

We have simplified the expression to:
64y264 - y^2
This is the final simplified form of the product of the two binomials (8y)(8+y)(8-y)(8+y).
