Find the LCM of 2x3+2x2-12x, 6x3-6x2-72x
and 4x3- 24x2+32x

Here,                                                                          

       1st expression = 2x3+2x2-12x

                               =2x(x2
+ x – 6)

                               =2x(x2+3x-2x-6)

                               =2x[x(x+3)-2(x+3)]

                              =2x(x-2)(x+3)

      2nd expression = 6x3-6x2-72x

                               =6x(x2
–x- 12)

                               =6x(x2-4x+3x-12)

                              
=6x[x(x-4)+3(x-4)]

                               =6x(x-4)(x+3)

     3rd expression = 4x3-
24x2+32x

                              = 4x(x2-6x+8)

                              = 4x(x2
-4x-2x+8)

                              =
4x[x(x-4)-2(x-4)]

                              =4x(x-4)(x-2)

       

















LCM= 12x (x-2) (x-4) (x+3)
