2x3+y5

Answer 1

The expression \( x^3(2+y^5) \) can be expanded by distributing \( x^3 \) to both terms inside the parentheses.

Here’s how you do the distribution:

1. Multiply \( x^3 \) by 2: \( x^3 \times 2 = 2x^3 \)
2. Multiply \( x^3 \) by \( y^5 \): \( x^3 \times y^5 = x^3y^5 \)

So the distributed expression becomes:
\[ 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \]

Among the given options, this matches the expression \( 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \).

Thus, the correct answer is:
**2x3+x3y5**
