Question 357181: Write the following two fractions in terms of the LCM of the denominators.
q+5/q^2-4q-21 and q/q^2-11q+28 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the following two fractions in terms of the LCM of the denominators.
q+5/q^2-4q-21 and q/q^2-11q+28
----
Factor the denominators:
q^2-4q-21 = (q-7)(q+3)
q^2-11q+28 = (q-7)(q-4)
---
LCM: (q+3)(q-4)(q-7)
--------------------------
Rewrite the fractions:
(q+5)(q-4)/LCM
---
and
---
q(q+3)/LCM
