![**Title: Multiplication and Simplification of Algebraic Expressions**
**Instruction: Multiply and simplify the expression below:**
\[ 3x^2y^3 (5x^2 + 3xy - 4y^2) \]
**Objective:** Expand and simplify the expression by distributing the term \( 3x^2y^3 \) across each term inside the parentheses.
**Step-by-Step Explanation:**
1. **Distribute \( 3x^2y^3 \) to each term in the parentheses:**
- \( 3x^2y^3 \times 5x^2 \)
- \( 3x^2y^3 \times 3xy \)
- \( 3x^2y^3 \times (-4y^2) \)
2. **Calculate each term:**
- \( 3x^2y^3 \times 5x^2 = 15x^{2+2}y^3 = 15x^4y^3 \)
- \( 3x^2y^3 \times 3xy = 9x^{2+1}y^{3+1} = 9x^3y^4 \)
- \( 3x^2y^3 \times (-4y^2) = -12x^2y^{3+2} = -12x^2y^5 \)
3. **Combine all the terms:**
\[ 15x^4y^3 + 9x^3y^4 - 12x^2y^5 \]
**Conclusion:**
The expanded and simplified expression is:
\[ 15x^4y^3 + 9x^3y^4 - 12x^2y^5 \]
Review these steps and ensure you understand how each term is derived through the multiplication and simplification process. This exercise is fundamental in algebra, allowing for the manipulation and simplification of complex algebraic expressions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7520b358-31b1-4002-8f56-f6e484ea4d66%2F5d3e5ed0-9981-4012-99ce-5c3b6399586e%2Feepbtbj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
