Find the least common multiple of x2 – 8x + 12 and x2 – x – 2.
4 months ago
Q:
Find the least common multiple of x2 – 8x + 12 and x2 – x – 2.
Accepted Solution
A:
The least common multiple of x² – 8x + 12 and x² – x – 2.
by factoring:
∴ x² – 8x + 12 = (x-2)(x-6)
x² – x – 2 = (x-2)(x+1)
note: the factor (x-2) is common between them take it one time
∴ LCM = (x-2)(x-6)(x+1)
