Find the product . Simplify your answer. -2(4y^2+8) square

To find the product and simplify the expression \(-2(4y^2 + 8)\), we need to distribute the \(-2\) across the terms inside the parentheses.<br /><br />First, distribute \(-2\) to \(4y^2\):<br />\[<br />-2 \cdot 4y^2 = -8y^2<br />\]<br /><br />Next, distribute \(-2\) to \(8\):<br />\[<br />-2 \cdot 8 = -16<br />\]<br /><br />Now, combine these results:<br />\[<br />-8y^2 - 16<br />\]<br /><br />Thus, the simplified form of the expression is:<br />\[<br />\boxed{-8y^2 - 16}<br />\]
