x3+2+y5

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( x^3(2+y^5) \), we can distribute \( x^3 \) across both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ x^3(2+y^5) = x^3 \cdot 2 + x^3 \cdot y^5 = 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \]

Thus, the expression equivalent to \( x^3(2+y^5) \) is:

2x³ + x³y⁵

This matches the response:

2x3+x3y5

So the correct answer is:

2x3+x3y5
