Which expression is equivalent to x3(2+y5) ?(1 point)

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

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

So, the equivalent expression is:

**2x³ + x³y⁵**.

Looking at the provided options, the correct answer is:

**2x³ + x³y⁵** (which is listed as "2 x cubed plus x cubed y superscript 5 baseline").
