To demonstrate the Closure Property of multiplication of polynomials, we need to find the product of the two given polynomials \( (x^2 - 3)(4y^3 + 5x^2) \).

Let's perform the multiplication step-by-step:

  1. Distribute \( x^2 \) to both terms in the second polynomial: \[ x^2 \cdot (4y^3 + 5x^2) = 4x^2y^3 + 5x^4 \]

  2. Distribute \(-3\) to both terms in the second polynomial: \[ -3 \cdot (4y^3 + 5x^2) = -12y^3 - 15x^2 \]

  3. Combine all the results: \[ (x^2 - 3)(4y^3 + 5x^2) = 4x^2y^3 + 5x^4 - 12y^3 - 15x^2 \]

So, the final result is: \[ 5x^4 + 4x^2y^3 - 12y^3 - 15x^2 \]

This result is a polynomial, which shows that the product of two polynomials is still a polynomial, thereby demonstrating the Closure Property of multiplication for polynomials.
