Question

Find the LCM of the polynomials. x² - x - 42 x2 + x - 56

Answer 1

Answer:

x^3+7x^2-50x-336 or (x-7)(x+6)(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor each equation.

x^2-x-42= (x-7)(x+6)

x^2+x-56= (x-7)(x+8)

The common factor is (x-7), therefore the other factors of the expressions must multiply to find the common factor.

(x-7)(x+6)(x+8)=x^3+7x^2-50x-336.
