Which of the following is equivalent to (2x^3)(3x^2)?

6x^3
6x^5
7x^5
10x^5

The correct answer is: 10x^5

The correct answer is (2x^3)(3x^2) = 6x^5. This can be found by adding the exponents when multiplying like terms. Option A, 6x^3, has the same base but the exponent is incorrect, so it is not equivalent. Option C, 7x^5, has both an incorrect coefficient and exponent, making it incorrect. Option D, 10x^5, has an incorrect coefficient, making it incorrect. Therefore, the only option that is equivalent to (2x^3)(3x^2) is option D, 6x^5.
