Explanation:
Each term in the second bracket is multiplied by each term in the first bracket as shown below.
(5-8y)^2=(5-8y)(5-8y)(5−8y)2=(5−8y)(5−8y)
rArr(color(red)(5-8y))(5-8y)⇒(5−8y)(5−8y)
=color(red)(5)(5-8y)color(red)(-8y)(5-8y)=5(5−8y)−8y(5−8y)
=(color(red)(5)xx5)+(color(red)(5)xx-8y)+(color(red)(-8y)xx5)+(color(red)(-8y)xx-8y)=(5×5)+(5×−8y)+(−8y×5)+(−8y×−8y)
=25+(-40y)+(-40y)+64y^2=25+(−40y)+(−40y)+64y2
=25-40y-40y+64y^2=25−40y−40y+64y2
=64y^2-80y+25larrcolor(red)" in standard form"=64y2−80y+25← in standard form
