Final answer:

To find the product of the given polynomials (y-4)(3y²-3y+4), we use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify the expression to 3y³ - 15y² + 16y - 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the product of the given polynomials, we can use the distributive property.

(y-4)(3y²-3y+4) = y(3y²-3y+4) - 4(3y²-3y+4)

Simplifying further, we get: (3y³ - 3y² + 4y) - (12y² - 12y + 16)

Combining like terms, the final simplified expression is: 3y³ - 15y² + 16y - 16
