Question

find the least common multiple.
x^2-8x, x^2+8x

Answer 1

FACTOR FACTOR FACTOR

Let's see what you get.

Answer 2

2x

Answer 3

?? That doesn't look factored to me. And, you're looking for an LCM, not a GCF.

Answer 4

ok, so what am I doing wrong ?

Answer 5

Did you factor them both? Show me that.

Answer 6

I have no idea ?

Answer 7

is it x^2(x^2 -64) ?

Answer 8

I do not believe that you have no idea.

\(x^{2} −8x = x(x−8) \)

Are you saying you can't do that? It's the Distributive Property.

Please show me the other one.

Answer 9

...and No, that is not the LCM.
