Answer

$\dfrac{1}{9}a^{4}-49$

Work Step by Step

$\Big(\dfrac{1}{3}a^{2}-7\Big)\Big(\dfrac{1}{3}a^{2}+7\Big)$ To evaluate this product, use the following formula: $(x-y)(x+y)=x^{2}-y^{2}$ Here, $x=\dfrac{1}{3}a^{2}$ and $y=7$ $\Big(\dfrac{1}{3}a^{2}-7\Big)\Big(\dfrac{1}{3}a^{2}+7\Big)=\Big(\dfrac{1}{3}a^{2}\Big)^{2}-(7)^{2}=\dfrac{1}{9}a^{4}-49$
