17. Simplify: (2y2 + 4y5xy) + (8xy + 2y2 +3y)  1 pointA. 4y2 + 7y +3xyB. 4y2 + 2y 3xyC. 4y2 7y - 3xyD. 4y2 7y +3xy

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to simplify the expression $(2y^2 + 4y^5xy) + (8xy + 2y^2 + 3y)$ by combining like terms.

2. Relevant Concepts

When simplifying polynomial expressions, we combine terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers (like terms).

3. Analysis and Detail

First, let's rewrite the expression by grouping like terms:

• From the first part: $2y^2$ and $4y^5xy$.
• From the second part: $8xy$, $2y^2$, and $3y$.

Now, let's combine the like terms:

1. Terms with $y^2$: $2y^2 + 2y^2 = 4y^2$

2. Terms with $xy$: $4y^5xy + 8xy = 4y^5xy + 8xy \quad \text{(these cannot be combined further)}$

3. Terms with $y$: $3y \quad \text{(only one term)}$

Putting it all together, we have:

$4y^2 + 4y^5xy + 8xy + 3y$

4. Verify and Summarize

Since $4y^5xy$ and $8xy$ cannot be combined with other like terms due to differing variables or powers, we keep them as they are.

Final Answer

Thus, the simplified expression is $4y^2 + 4y^5xy + 8xy + 3y$. However, since the answer options do not match exactly, it seems there may have been an oversight. Based on the formulation and understanding of similar answers in the options, the closest interpretation leads to:

A. $4y^2 + 7y + 3xy$ is not a strictly accurate match. Therefore, D. $4y^2 + 7y + 3xy$ seems more appropriate as it fits the context despite the calculation output.

Verifying through options loses some rational combination insights, so consider focusing on polynomial structures for clarity.
