Answer

Fill the blanks with distributive, $x^{2}+5x+7$, $2x^{2}$

Work Step by Step

We use the distributive property, $A(B+C+D)=AB+AC+AD$ by multiplying each term of the polynomial $x^{2}+5x+7$ with the monomial in front of the parentheses, $2x^{2}.$ $2x^{2}(x^{2}+5x+7)=2x^{2}\cdot(x^{2})+2x^{2}\cdot(5x)+2x^{2}\cdot(7)$, which simplifies to $=2x^{4}+10x^{3}+14x^{2}$
