Question

The least common denominator of the rational numbers x^2-y^2/(x^2-8x+15) and y^2/15(x^2-6x+9) is

Answer 1

Answer:

15(x - 5)(x - 3)²

Step-by-step explanation:

factor both denominators and see what you need to do to make them equal...

(x² - y²)/[(x - 5)(x - 3)]           y²/[15(x - 3)(x - 3)]

the first denominator has (x - 5)(x - 3)          

the second denominator has 15(x - 3)(x - 3),

the least common denominator between them would be

15(x - 5)(x -3)(x - 3)     or  15(x - 5)(x - 3)²
