Question

Find the least common denominator for these

two rational expressions.
-7/x 3/8x^2
Can someone help ASAP

Answer 1

The least common factor denominator is 8x².

Solution:

Given rational expressions:

`$(-7)/(x) \ \ \text{and} \ \ (3)/(8 x^(2))`

To find the least common denominator for the rational expressions:

The denominators of the rational expressions are x and 8x².

Factor of x = x

Factor of 8x² = 8 × x × x

Least common factor of x and 8x² = x × 8 × x

= 8x²

Hence the least common factor denominator for those two rational expressions is 8x².
