select the correct answer.\nwhich expression is equivalent to this polynomial expression?\n$(5xy^{2}+3x^{2}-7…

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

$$(5xy^{2}+3z^{2}-7)+(3x^{2}y^{2}-xy^{2}+3y^{2}+4)=5xy^{2}+3z^{2}-7 + 3x^{2}y^{2}-xy^{2}+3y^{2}+4$$

Step2: Combine like terms

• For the terms with (xy^{2}): (5xy^{2}-xy^{2}=(5 - 1)xy^{2}=4xy^{2})
• For the constant terms: (-7 + 4=-3)
• The other terms (3x^{2}y^{2}), (3z^{2}), (3y^{2}) remain as they are since there are no like - terms to combine them with. So the expression becomes (3x^{2}y^{2}+4xy^{2}+3z^{2}+3y^{2}-3)

Answer:

B. (9x^{2}y^{2}+4xy^{2}-3) (It seems there is a mistake in the problem statement or options. If we assume (3x^{2}y^{2}) is a typo and should be (9x^{2}y^{2}) (maybe a coefficient error in the original polynomial expansion), then following the steps of combining like terms (if we consider only the (x^{2}y^{2}), (xy^{2}) and constant terms and ignore the (z^{2}) and (y^{2}) terms which might be due to a mis - print in the options), we can get this result. But strictly following the polynomial addition as shown above with the given polynomial ((5xy^{2}+3z^{2}-7)+(3x^{2}y^{2}-xy^{2}+3y^{2}+4)), there is an error in the provided options. However, if we assume the (3z^{2}+3y^{2}) terms are not supposed to be there (a mis - take in the problem creation), and we only focus on (x^{2}y^{2}), (xy^{2}) and constants: (3x^{2}y^{2}+(5xy^{2}-xy^{2})+( - 7 + 4)=3x^{2}y^{2}+4xy^{2}-3). If it's a mis - type and the first polynomial is ((5x^{2}y^{2}+3z^{2}-7)) instead of ((5xy^{2}+3z^{2}-7)), then ((5x^{2}y^{2}+3z^{2}-7)+(3x^{2}y^{2}-xy^{2}+3y^{2}+4)=(5x^{2}y^{2}+3x^{2}y^{2})-xy^{2}+3y^{2}+3z^{2}+( - 7 + 4)=8x^{2}y^{2}-xy^{2}+3y^{2}+3z^{2}-3) which still doesn't match. But if we assume the options have a typo and we consider only the (x^{2}y^{2}), (xy^{2}) and constant terms from the original wrong polynomial addition (treating (3x^{2}y^{2}) as (9x^{2}y^{2}) due to a coefficient error), we can choose B)
