The document describes the steps to multiply two polynomials: (4y8+10y2) * (8y4+14). It involves drawing a box with the terms of each polynomial along the sides, multiplying the terms cell by cell, organizing the products by descending polynomial order, and combining like terms. The result is the multiplied polynomial 8y17 + 16y13 + 20y11 + 56y8 + 252y4.
