1. Problem Description

The problem asks to expand the expression (x2y)(x7y)(x-2y)(x-7y).

2. Solution Steps

We will use the distributive property (also known as FOIL) to expand the expression:
(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
(x2y)(x7y)=x(x)+x(7y)+(2y)(x)+(2y)(7y)(x - 2y)(x - 7y) = x(x) + x(-7y) + (-2y)(x) + (-2y)(-7y)
=x27xy2xy+14y2= x^2 - 7xy - 2xy + 14y^2
=x29xy+14y2= x^2 - 9xy + 14y^2

3. Final Answer

x29xy+14y2x^2 - 9xy + 14y^2
