Answer:

= 2a³b - 2ab² + a²b - b³

Explanation:

We multiply the each term in the first polynomial by each in the other as follows.

2ab(a² - b²) + b(a² - b²)

We then open the brackets and get the following.

2a³b - 2ab² + a²b - b³

We can not simplify the product further than this since it has no like terms.
