Which expression is equivalent to x3(2+y5) ?

1 answer

The expression \( x^3(2 + y^5) \) is already in a simplified form. However, if you want to expand it, you can distribute \( x^3 \) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ x^3(2 + y^5) = x^3 \cdot 2 + x^3 \cdot y^5 \]

Therefore, the equivalent expression is:

\[ 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \]

So, \( x^3(2 + y^5) \) is equivalent to \( 2x^3 + x^3y^5 \).
