Question

What is the LCM of x^2+5 and x^2+10x+25?

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+5)²(x²+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two functions x²+5 and x²+10x+25, to get their Lowest common factor, we need to to first factorize x²+10x+25

On factorising we have:

x²+5x+5x+25

= x(x+5) +5(x+5

= (x+5)(x+5)

= (x+5)²

The LCM can be calculated as thus

| x²+5, (x+5)²

x+5| x²+5, (x+5)

x+5| x²+5, 1

x²+5| 1, 1

The factors of both equation are x+5 × x+5 × x²+5

The LCM will be the product of the three functions i.e

(x+5)²(x²+5)

This hives the required expression.
