(7y³ - y² + 9)(3y² + y + 1)
Use the distributive property (an extended FOIL):
= 7y³(3y² + y + 1) - y²(3y² + y + 1) + 9(3y² + y + 1)
= 7y³(3y²) + 7y³(y) + 1(7y³) - y²(3y²) - y²(y) - y²(1) + 9(3y²) + 9(y) + 9(1)
= 21y^5 + 7y^4 + 7y³ - 3y^4 - y³ - y² + 27y² + 9y + 9
= 21y^5 + 4y^4 + 6y³ + 26y² + 9y + 9
(7y³ - y² + 9)(3y² + y + 1)
Use the distributive property (an extended FOIL):
= 7y³(3y² + y + 1) - y²(3y² + y + 1) + 9(3y² + y + 1)
= 7y³(3y²) + 7y³(y) + 1(7y³) - y²(3y²) - y²(y) - y²(1) + 9(3y²) + 9(y) + 9(1)
= 21y^5 + 7y^4 + 7y³ - 3y^4 - y³ - y² + 27y² + 9y + 9
= 21y^5 + 4y^4 + 6y³ + 26y² + 9y + 9
