Answer

$-5b^3+15b^2+24b-16$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(4-b)(5b^2+5b-4)$ Distribute $(5b^2+5b-4)$ to each term of $(4-b)$. $=4(5b^2+5b-4)-b(5b^2+5b-4)$ Use distributive property. $=4(5b^2)+4(5b)+4(-4)-b(5b^2)-b(5b)-b(-4)$ Multiply. $=20b^2+20b-16-5b^3-5b^2+4b$ Combine like terms. $=15b^2+24b-16-5b^3$ Standard form. $=-5b^3+15b^2+24b-16$ Hence, the product is $-5b^3+15b^2+24b-16$.
