Math Problem Statement

Simplify: (3x^5y^3 - 7x^3y^2 + 11xy) + (-2xy - 4x^5y^3 + 8x^3y^2)

Solution

Let's simplify the given expression:

(3x5y37x3y2+11xy)+(2xy4x5y3+8x3y2)(3x^5y^3 - 7x^3y^2 + 11xy) + (-2xy - 4x^5y^3 + 8x^3y^2)

Step 1: Combine like terms

We need to identify and combine terms with the same powers of xx and yy. Let's group the terms accordingly.

  1. Terms with x5y3x^5y^3: 3x5y3+(4x5y3)=(34)x5y3=x5y33x^5y^3 + (-4x^5y^3) = (3 - 4)x^5y^3 = -x^5y^3

  2. Terms with x3y2x^3y^2: 7x3y2+8x3y2=(7+8)x3y2=x3y2-7x^3y^2 + 8x^3y^2 = (-7 + 8)x^3y^2 = x^3y^2

  3. Terms with xyxy: 11xy+(2xy)=(112)xy=9xy11xy + (-2xy) = (11 - 2)xy = 9xy

Step 2: Write the simplified expression

Now, combining all the terms: x5y3+x3y2+9xy-x^5y^3 + x^3y^2 + 9xy

This matches option d in the choices provided.

Final Answer:

The simplified expression is d\boxed{d}.
