Find the LCM of 14x^2+42x and 2x^2+8x+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[14x(x+3)\] is first term. second is \[2(x+1)(x+3)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for your least common multiply you need one factor of \[x-3\] one factor of \[x\] one factor iof \[x+1\] and one factor of \[14\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14x(x + 3) and (2x + 2)(x + 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Least common multiple, not divisor!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so answer is \[14x(x+1)(x+3)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is a multiple of both terms, and it it is the smallest one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ... thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you
