x3y−x2y2+2x2−2y
x cubed y minus x squared y squared plus 2 x squared minus 2 y

x4y+x2−2y

Answer 1

To find the product of the polynomials \((x^2y + 2)(x^2 - y)\), we can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).

Let's expand the expression:

\[ (x^2y + 2)(x^2 - y) \]

1. Distribute \(x^2y\):

   • \(x^2y \cdot x^2 = x^4y\)
   • \(x^2y \cdot (-y) = -x^2y^2\)

2. Distribute \(2\):

   • \(2 \cdot x^2 = 2x^2\)
   • \(2 \cdot (-y) = -2y\)

Now, combine all the terms:

\[ x^4y - x^2y^2 + 2x^2 - 2y \]

So the product of the polynomials is:

\[ \boxed{x^4y - x^2y^2 + 2x^2 - 2y} \]

The correct response from your options is:

x^4y - x^2y^2 + 2x^2 - 2y
