Work Step by Step

$(4\sqrt{5}+\sqrt2)(4\sqrt{5}-\sqrt2)$ Use the FOIL method to multiply the binomial. Multiply the First terms, the Outside terms, the Inside terms, and the Last terms. $(4\sqrt{5}\times4\sqrt{5})+(4\sqrt5\times(-\sqrt2))+(4\sqrt5\times\sqrt2)+(\sqrt2\times(-\sqrt2))$ Simplify. $80-4\sqrt{10}+4\sqrt{10}-2$ Combine like terms/like radicals. $78$
