Distributive property:
[tex](a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd[/tex]Multiplication of powers with the same base:
[tex]a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}[/tex]For the given expression:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x^2+3)(x^3-5)=x^2\cdot x^3+x^2\cdot(-5)+3\cdot x^3+3\cdot(-5) \\ \\ =x^{2+3}-5x^2+3x^3-15 \\ =x^5-5x^2+3x^3-15 \\ =x^5+3x^3-5x^2-15 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer is the second option
