To find the product \((12x^2 - 3)(4y^3 + 5x^2)\), we'll use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for two binomials).
-
Distribute \(12x^2\) across \(4y^3\) and \(5x^2\):
\[
12x^2 \cdot 4y^3 = 48x^2y^3
\]
\[
12x^2 \cdot 5x^2 = 60x^4
\]
-
Distribute \(-3\) across \(4y^3\) and \(5x^2\):
\[
-3 \cdot 4y^3 = -12y^3
\]
\[
-3 \cdot 5x^2 = -15x^2
\]
Now combine all these products together:
\[
48x^2y^3 + 60x^4 - 12y^3 - 15x^2
\]
Next, we can rearrange it in standard polynomial form:
\[
60x^4 + 48x^2y^3 - 15x^2 - 12y^3
\]
Now, let's check the given responses:
- \(52x^2y^3 + 2x^4 - 8y^3 + 15x^2\)
- \(2x^2y^3 + 52x^4 - 12y^3 - 15x^2\)
- \(x^2y^3 + 5x^4 - 8y^3 - 15x^2\)
- \(\sqrt{x}y^3 + 4x^4 - 15x^2\)
None of the provided responses match our product \(60x^4 + 48x^2y^3 - 15x^2 - 12y^3\).
Therefore, the calculation of the product does demonstrate closure under multiplication of polynomials, but none of the response options represent this product correctly. If any were intended to match, it appears there may have been an error in the options provided.
