To find the product of \((4y + 5)(4y - 4)\), we can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).
We perform the multiplication step by step:
-
First: Multiply the first terms: \[ 4y \cdot 4y = 16y^2 \]
-
Outer: Multiply the outer terms: \[ 4y \cdot (-4) = -16y \]
-
Inner: Multiply the inner terms: \[ 5 \cdot 4y = 20y \]
-
Last: Multiply the last terms: \[ 5 \cdot (-4) = -20 \]
Now, we can combine these results: \[ 16y^2 - 16y + 20y - 20 \]
Combine like terms: \[ 16y^2 + (20y - 16y) - 20 = 16y^2 + 4y - 20 \]
So, the product in standard form is: \[ 16y^2 + 4y - 20 \]
The correct response from your options is: 16y² + 4y - 20.
