Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.\newline(z4)(z+4)(z - 4)(z + 4)
  1. Identify Special Case: Identify the special case that applies to the given expression.\newlineThe expression (z4)(z+4)(z - 4)(z + 4) is in the form of (ab)(a+b)(a - b)(a + b).\newlineSpecial case: (ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2
  2. Identify Values: Identify the values of aa and bb. Compare (z4)(z+4)(z - 4)(z + 4) with (ab)(a+b)(a - b)(a + b). a=za = z b=4b = 4
  3. Apply Formula: Apply the difference of squares formula to expand (z4)(z+4)(z - 4)(z + 4).\newline(ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2\newline(z4)(z+4)=z242(z - 4)(z + 4) = z^2 - 4^2
  4. Simplify Expression: Simplify z242z^2 - 4^2. \newlinez242=z216z^2 - 4^2 = z^2 - 16
