To find equivalent expressions for \((4−2z^2−z)(3z+5)\), we need to first expand this expression.

  1. Distributing \( (4 - 2z^2 - z) \) over \( (3z + 5) \):

\[ (4)(3z) + (4)(5) + (-2z^2)(3z) + (-2z^2)(5) + (-z)(3z) + (-z)(5) \]

Calculating each term:

  • \( 4 \cdot 3z = 12z \)
  • \( 4 \cdot 5 = 20 \)
  • \(-2z^2 \cdot 3z = -6z^3\)
  • \(-2z^2 \cdot 5 = -10z^2\)
  • \(-z \cdot 3z = -3z^2\)
  • \(-z \cdot 5 = -5z\)

Now let's combine all these results:

  • The \( z^3 \) term: \( -6z^3 \)
  • The \( z^2 \) terms: \( -10z^2 - 3z^2 = -13z^2 \)
  • The \( z \) terms: \( 12z - 5z = 7z \)
  • The constant term: \( 20 \)

Putting this all together, we get:

\[ -6z^3 - 13z^2 + 7z + 20 \]

Now let's evaluate the responses given:

  1. \(6z^3−10z^2+5z+12z+20−3z^2\)

    • Simplifying this:
    • \( 6z^3 - 10z^2 + (5z + 12z) + 20 - 3z^2 = 6z^3 - 10z^2 + 17z + 20\) which is not equivalent.
  2. \(-6z^3−13z^2+7z+20\)

    • This is exactly the expanded form we obtained, so it is equivalent.
  3. \(-6z^3−7z^2−2z+20\)

    • This is not equivalent, since the coefficients of \( z^2 \) and \( z \) do not match.
  4. \(-6z^3−10z^2−3z^2−5z+12z+20\)

    • Simplifying:
    • \( -6z^3 + (-10z^2 - 3z^2) + (12z - 5z) + 20 = -6z^3 - 13z^2 + 7z + 20\). This is again equivalent.
  5. \(-6z^3−13z^2−5z+12z+20\)

    • Simplifying:
    • \( -6z^3 - 13z^2 + (12z - 5z) + 20 = -6z^3 - 13z^2 + 7z + 20\), which is also equivalent.

Thus, the equivalent expressions are:

  • \(-6z^3−13z^2+7z+20\)
  • \(-6z^3−10z^2−3z^2−5z+12z+20\)
  • \(-6z^3−13z^2−5z+12z+20\)
