Question

Which is the LCM of (x + y) and (x + y)2.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+y)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expressions (x + y) and (x + y)².​

We are to find the LCM of (x + y) and (x + y)²

Taking the factors as shown

(x+y ) || (x + y) (x + y)²

(x+y ) || 1   (x+y)

        ||  1     1

Multiplying both factors to get the LCM

= (x+y)(x+y)

= (x+y)²

Hence the LCM of (x + y) and (x + y)² is  (x+y)²
