OpenStudy (ranga):

What is the LCD of \(\Large 5x^8 \text{ and } 3x^6 \ ? \)

OpenStudy (ranga):

LCD = Least Common Denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga 15x?

OpenStudy (ranga):

It is \(\Large 15x^8\). Multiply top and bottom of each fraction by something so that we get \(\Large 15x^8\) as LCD.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga okay one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ranga so i got 18/5x^8 and 20x^2/15x^8

OpenStudy (ranga):

\[ \frac{ 6 }{ 5x ^{8} } + \frac{ 4 }{ 3x ^{6} } = \frac{ 6*3}{ 15x ^{8} } + \frac{ 4*5x^2 }{ 15x ^{8} } = \frac{20x^2+18}{15x^8} \] Yes. You have the correct answer!
