Final answer:
To find the product of x²y - z² multiplied by 2y² - z² multiplied by 2y - 2², multiply each term using the distributive property and simplify the expression. Combine like terms to get the final simplified product: -4x²y³z² + 12y³z² - 6y²z⁴.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the product of x²y - z² multiplied by 2y² - z² multiplied by 2y - 2², we can multiply each term using the distributive property and simplify the expression. First, multiply each term:
- x²y x 2y² x 2y = 4x²y³
- x²y x 2y² x -z² = -2x²y³z²
- -z² x 2y² x 2y = -4y³z²
- -z² x 2y² x -z² = 2y²z⁴
- x²y x -2² x 2y = -8x²y³
- x²y x -2² x -z² = 4x²y³z²
- -z² x -2² x 2y = 16y³z²
- -z² x -2² x -z² = -8y²z⁴
Then, combine like terms by adding or subtracting terms with the same variables raised to the same powers:
4x²y³ - 2x²y³z² - 4y³z² + 2y²z⁴ - 8x²y³ + 4x²y³z² + 16y³z² - 8y²z⁴
Finally, simplify the expression by combining like terms again:
-4x²y³z² + 12y³z² - 6y²z⁴
