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)
