① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{z0}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( z0\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{z0}\right) \cdot \left( z0\right) = z^2 \cancel{0z} \cancel{0z}0 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ z^2 \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{0z}} \, \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{0z}} \,0 = z^2 $$ |
