What is the least common denominator of the expression below? g^2 / 9 - g^2 + 14 + g / 24g + 8g^2 a. (3 + g) b. 7g^2 + 24g + 9 c. 8g(3 - g) d. 8g(3 + g)(3 - g) help me please :)
well..."Common" Denominator just means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same.
is it D?
yeah i think you may be right on this one
i got d
alright
\[\Large \frac{g^2}{9-g^2} + \frac{14+g}{24g + 8g^2}\] \[\Large \frac{g^2}{3^2-g^2} + \frac{14+g}{24g + 8g^2}\] \[\Large \frac{g^2}{(3+g)(3-g)} + \frac{14+g}{24g + 8g^2}\] \[\Large \frac{g^2}{(3+g)(3-g)} + \frac{14+g}{8g(3 + g)}\] I'll let you finish up
8g :d?
can i get a medal
so A ??? im so confused now xD
you were right the first time it's best to go with your gut feeling sometimes
look at the factors in the denominators and focus on the unique factors
true that
but its least common, and 3 + g are very common lol how is it D?
the unique factors are: (3+g), (3-g), and 8g multiply them to get 8g(3+g)(3-g)
(3+g) is a factor, but it's not the whole LCD
okay i see :) thanks
you're welcome
ok perve
welcome hey im 16 what do you expect
