Answer:

The value of a is 16    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the product

(y - 4)(y^2 + 4y + 16)

we have to apply the distributive property express the expression in the form

y^3 + 4y^2 + ay - 4y^2 - ay - 64\text{ to find the value of a}

By distributive property

a(b+c)=a.b+a.c

(y - 4)(y^2 + 4y + 16)

y(y^2 + 4y + 16)-4(y^2 + 4y + 16)

y^3+4y^2+16y-4y^2-16y-64

\text{Compare this equation with }y^3 + 4y^2 + ay - 4y^2 - ay - 64

gives a=16

hence, the value of a is 16
