The product (y−4x)(y^2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 4y2 ay−4xy2−axy−64x then the value of a is 16.
<h3>What is distributive property?</h3>The distributive property states that an expression of the form A(B + C) can be solved by a multiplication over addition operation that is
A(B + C) = AB + AC
This property is known by distributive law and applies to subtraction also.
First let w = y-4x make distribution a bit easier
(y−4x)(y^2 + 4y + 16)
now put the values of w in the equation
Here the value of a is 16.
