To simplify the expression \( x^3(2 + y^5) \), we can use the distributive property:
\[
x^3(2 + y^5) = x^3 \cdot 2 + x^3 \cdot y^5 = 2x^3 + x^3y^5
\]
Now, looking at the responses:
1. **2x3+x3y5** corresponds to \( 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \).
2. **2x3+y5** corresponds to \( 2x^3 + y^5 \).
3. **x3+x3+xy+xy+xy** does not correspond to the original expression.
4. **x3+2+y5** does not correspond to the original expression.
The expression that is equivalent to \( x^3(2 + y^5) \) is
**Response 1: 2x3 + x3y5**.
