3x^3+10x2−3x−15

Answer 1

To multiply the polynomial expressions \( (2x^2 - 3)(x + 5) \), we will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).

Here’s the breakdown of the multiplication:

1. **Distribute \(2x^2\)**:
- \(2x^2 \cdot x = 2x^3\)
- \(2x^2 \cdot 5 = 10x^2\)

2. **Distribute \(-3\)**:
- \(-3 \cdot x = -3x\)
- \(-3 \cdot 5 = -15\)

Now, we combine all the results:

\[
2x^3 + 10x^2 - 3x - 15
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
2x^3 + 10x^2 - 3x - 15
\]

So the correct response is:

**2x^3 + 10x^2 - 3x - 15**.
