To find an expression equivalent to \( x^3(2 + y^5) \), we can distribute \( x^3 \) to the terms inside the parentheses.
So, we apply the distributive property:
\[ x^3(2 + y^5) = x^3 \cdot 2 + x^3 \cdot y^5 = 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \]
This leads us to the final expression:
Option: \( 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \)
So the correct expression from your responses is:
2x³ + x³y⁵.
