im sorry i forgot to mention factor completely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the lcm 9 or 27?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

all you can do is factor out a three: 3(a^4-81)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that part, just lost after that

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Now remember a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) so (a^4-81) factors into (a^2-9)(a^2+9) i.e. just take the square root of each term and out it in the form indicated above. Your final answer is then 3(a^2-9)(a^2+9)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sorry wait (a^2-9) can be factored in this way to into (a-3)(a+3) so your final answer is 3(a^2+9)(a-3)(a+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot the middle part
