find the HCF and LCM of x-1,x^2-1,x^2-x+xy-y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have numbers for x and y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no number dats just it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-1) (x^2-1) <-- can be factored x^2-x+xy-y <-- can be factored can you factor them @getexcool ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yap i can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

roit that makse sense do that ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me what you get o:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got (x-1)(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dats for x^2-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat about for X^2-x+xy-y i cant factor it @nphuongsun93

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2-x+xy - y\]take the common x and common y \[x(x-1)+y(x-1)\]take the common (x-1) \[(x+y)(x-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-1) (x-1)(x+1) (x-1)(x+y) do you know how to find these? LCM and HCF~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yap it is quiet clear now
