Answer:

The answer is (C)

Explanation:

Let us multiply the two trinomials and simplify the product to find the correct choice.


(2x^(2)+4x-3)(x^(2)-2x+5)

To find the product multiply each term in the first bracket by the second bracket, then add the like terms


2x^(2) (x^(2)-2x+5)=2x^(2)(x^(2))+2x^(2)(-2x)+2x^(2)(5)=2x^(4)-4x^(3)+10x^(2)


4x(x^(2)-2x+5)=4x(x^(2))+4x(-2x)+4x(5)=4x^(3)-8x^(2)+20x


(-3)(x^(2)-2x+5)=(-3)(x^(2))+(-3)(-2x)+(-3)(5)=-3x^(2)+6x-15

Now let us add the like terms.


2x^(4)-4x^(3)+10x^(2)+4x^(3)-8x^(2)+20x-3x^(2)+6x-15=


2x^(4)+(-4x^(3)+4x^(3))+(10x^(2)-8x^(2)-3x^(2))+(6x+20x)-15=

Simplify each term


2x^(4)+(0)x^(3)-x^(2)+26x-15=


2x^(4)-x^(2)+26x-15

By comparing it with the choices

The answer is (C)
