Explanation:
To find the product, we need to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition:
(4 - 2.5y) (0.35y) = 4(0.35y) - 2.5y(0.35y)
Simplifying the first term gives:
4(0.35y) = 1.4y
Simplifying the second term requires multiplying the coefficients and adding the exponents of y:
-2.5y(0.35y) = -0.875y^2
Putting it all together, we get:
(4 - 2.5y) (0.35y) = 1.4y - 0.875y^2
Therefore, the product is "1.4y - 0.875y^2".
