#### Solution:

7y x 7y
[Original monomials.]

= 7 x 7 x y x y
[Rearrange factors.]

= 49 x y x y
[Multiply coefficients.]

= 49y2

Correct answer : (4)
2.

 a. 112 b. 114 c. 116 d. 118

#### Solution:

(7y2 - 2y - 5)(5y2 - 5y - 4)
[Original expression.]

= [7(2)2 - 2(2) - 5][5(2)2 - 5(2) - 4]
[Replace the variable with the value, given.]

= [7(4) - 2(2) - 5][5(4) - 5(2) - 4]
[Evaluate the exponents.]

= (28 - 4 - 5)(20 - 10 - 4)
[Simplify.]

= (19)(6)

= 114
[Multiply.]

3.
Find the product of 3$y$4 and 4$y$5.
 a. 9$y$9 b. 15$y$9 c. 12$y$8 d. 12$y$9

#### Solution:

3y4 , 4y5
[Original polynomials.]

(3y4) x (4y5)
[Multiply the two polynomials.]

= 3 x 4 x y4 x y5
[Rearrange the factors.]

= 12y9

The product of 3y4 and 4y5 is 12y9.

Correct answer : (4)
4.
Find the product of 3$y$ and (3$y$2 - 1).
 a. 9$y$3 - 3$y$ b. -9$y$3 - 3$y$ c. -9$y$3 + $y$ d. 9$y$3 + 3$y$

#### Solution:

3y, (3y2 - 1)
[Original polynomials.]

(3y) x (3y2 - 1)
[Multiply the two polynomials.]

= 3y(3y2) + 3y(-1)
[Use distributive property.]

= 9y3 - 3y
[Multiply monomials.]

The product of 3y and (3y2 - 1) is 9y3 - 3y.

Correct answer : (1)
5.
Find the product of (- $y$ + 4) and (- $y$ - 4).
 a. -$y$2 - $y$ + 16 b. -$y$2 + 16 c. $y$2 + 16$y$ - 1 d. $y$2 - 16

#### Solution:

(-y + 4) and (-y - 4)
[Original polynomials.]

(-y + 4) x (-y - 4)
[Multiply the two polynomials.]

= -y (-y - 4) + 4(-y - 4)
[Use distributive property.]

= -y (-y) + 4y - 4y + 4(-4)
[Use distributive property.]

= y2 - 4y + 4y - 16
[Multiply.]

= y2 - 16
[Combine like terms.]

The product of (-y + 4) and (-y - 4) is y2 - 16.

Correct answer : (4)
6.
Find the product of - 4$y$ and ($y$2 - 2$y$ - 2).
 a. 4$y$3 - 8$y$2 - 8$y$ b. 4$y$3 + 8$y$2 + 8 c. -4$y$3 + 8$y$2 + 8$y$ d. None of the above

#### Solution:

-4y, (y2 - 2y - 2)
[Original polynomials.]

-4y x (y2 - 2y - 2)
[Multiply the two polynomials.]

= -4y x y2 + 4y x 2y + 4y x 2
[Use distributive property.]

= -4y3 + 8y2 + 8y
[Simplify.]

The product of -4y and (y2 - 2y - 2) is -4y3 + 8y2 + 8y.

Correct answer : (3)
7.
Find the product of ($y$ + 2) and ($y$ - 2).
 a. -$y$2 - 4 b. -$y$2 + 4 c. $y$2 + 4 d. $y$2 - 4

#### Solution:

(y + 2), (y - 2)
[Original polynomials.]

(y + 2) x (y - 2)
[Multiply the two polynomials.]

= (y x y) - 2y + 2y - 4
[Use distributive property.]

= y2 - 4

The product of (y + 2) and (y - 2) is y2 - 4.

Correct answer : (4)

#### Solution:

(2y2 + 5), (y2 - 6)
[Original polynomials.]

(2y2 + 5) x (y2 - 6)
[Multiply the two polynomials.]

= 2y2(y2 - 6) + 5(y2 - 6)
[Use distributive property.]
