Find the lowest common denominator for the set of fractions: 6/a^2-7a+6 and 3/a^2-36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do ju mean for both fractions 1 lcd or an lcd for each fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the LCD for the 2 fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a feeling its (a+6)(a-6)(a-1) but im not completely sure... do ju have answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a fill in box and its _ _ _ 6 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ + _ _

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@blondie16 is correct... if you factor the denominators of each fraction, you'll see why it has to be (a+6)(a-6)(a-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woohoo! lol thank ju @dpaInc for making sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about 7/x^2+4x+4 and 5/4-x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ju still have to factor out the bottom so it would be (x+2)^2(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/x^2-5x+4 and x+1/x^2-16
