Find the least common multiple of the following polynomials 9(x + 2)(2x - 1) and 3(x + 2)
Solution:
Given polynomial is
9(x + 2)(2x - 1) and 3(x + 2)
The first product is 9(x + 2)(2x - 1) and each term in this is its factors
So, it can be written as 3(x + 2)3(2x - 1)
Similarly, 3 and x + 2 are factors of 3(x + 2)
The next multiples will be 6(x + 2) and 9(x + 2) etc
When 3(x + 2) is multiplied 3(2x - 1) times, then they get a common multiple
Common multiple is 3(x + 2)3(2x - 1)
Therefore, the least common multiple is 9(x + 2)(2x - 1)
Find the least common multiple of the following polynomials 9(x + 2)(2x - 1) and 3(x + 2)
Summary:
The least common multiple of the following polynomials 9(x + 2)(2x - 1) and 3(x + 2) is 9(x + 2)(2x - 1).
