how would you find the lowest common denominator for the following rational expressions:
\n" ); document.write( "8/y squared minus 5y, and -2/y squared minus 2y minus 15.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "8/(y^2-5y) and -2/(y^2-2y-15)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "8/[y(y-5)] and -2/[(y-5)(y+3)]
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Lowest Common Denominator: (y(y-5)(y+3))
\n" ); document.write( "==============================================
