Add the Polynomials $$\left( 12 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 10 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 } + 2 x y \right) + \left( 4 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 5 x ^ { 3 } y + 3 x y \right)$$

question 41

Multiple Choice

Add the polynomials. Assume all variable exponents represent whole numbers.
- $$\left( 12 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 10 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 } + 2 x y \right) + \left( 4 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 5 x ^ { 3 } y + 3 x y \right)$$

• A) \(16 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 15 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 } + 5 x y\)
• B) \(16 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 15 x ^ { 3 } y + 5 x y\)
• C) \(15 x ^ { 6 } y ^ { 3 } + 16 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 5 x y\)
• D) \(16 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } + 10 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 } + 5 x ^ { 3 } y + 5 x y\)
