To find the product of the polynomials \( (12x^2 - 3)(4y^3 + 5x^2) \), we will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).
Here's the step-by-step multiplication:
-
Distribute \( 12x^2 \) to both terms in the second polynomial:
- \( 12x^2 \cdot 4y^3 = 48x^2y^3 \)
- \( 12x^2 \cdot 5x^2 = 60x^4 \)
-
Distribute \( -3 \) to both terms in the second polynomial:
- \( -3 \cdot 4y^3 = -12y^3 \)
- \( -3 \cdot 5x^2 = -15x^2 \)
Now, combine all these results: \[ 48x^2y^3 + 60x^4 - 12y^3 - 15x^2 \]
Next, we can write the resulting polynomial in standard form (usually ordered by degree): \[ 60x^4 + 48x^2y^3 - 15x^2 - 12y^3 \]
Now let's check which of the provided responses matches our result:
- The response that matches our result is: None of the provided options exactly match the resulting polynomial.
Therefore, for demonstration purposes, we have calculated the product of the multiplication, which confirms the closure property of multiplication of polynomials; the product is indeed a polynomial.
If there's a requirement for a choice from the options given when none match, I suggest reviewing the options for any potential typographical errors or misinterpretations in the polynomials presented.
