To demonstrate the Closure Property of multiplication in polynomials, we will multiply the two given polynomials \( (12x^2 - 3) \) and \( (4y^3 + 5x^2) \).
Using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials), we can find the product:
-
Distributing \( 12x^2 \):
- \( 12x^2 \cdot 4y^3 = 48x^2y^3 \)
- \( 12x^2 \cdot 5x^2 = 60x^4 \)
-
Distributing \( -3 \):
- \( -3 \cdot 4y^3 = -12y^3 \)
- \( -3 \cdot 5x^2 = -15x^2 \)
Now, combining all these results together: \[ 48x^2y^3 + 60x^4 - 12y^3 - 15x^2 \]
Now, if we rearrange this, we have: \[ 60x^4 + 48x^2y^3 - 12y^3 - 15x^2 \]
As we see, the product \( (12x^2 - 3)(4y^3 + 5x^2) \) results in a polynomial, and therefore we demonstrate that the multiplication of two polynomials results in a polynomial, validating the Closure Property.
Thus, the result we obtained which shows the Closure Property is: \[ 60x^4 + 48x^2y^3 - 12y^3 - 15x^2 \]
Among the options you provided, while this exact expression may not be listed, the essence of the multiplication showcases that the resultant expression remains a polynomial, affirming the Closure Property.
