Find the common denominator. \[Hint:~~~~~~~\scr (x-3)(x+1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean that \[x^2-2x-3=\scr (x-3)(x+1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x−3 over (x−3)(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, and also, you can multiply everything times (x+1) in the second fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, is the LCD 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+1)(x-3) is the LCD
