9. Then/Now You added and subtracted polynomial expressions. (Lesson 6–2) Determine the LCM of polynomials. Add and subtract rational expressions.

10. Example 1A LCM of Monomials and Polynomials A. Find the LCM of 15a 2 bc 3, 16b 5 c 2, and 20a 3 c 6. 15a 2 bc 3 = 3 ● 5 ● a 2 ● b ● c 3 Factor the first monomial. 16b 5 c 2 = 2 4 ● b 5 ● c 2 Factor the second monomial. 20a 3 c 6 = 2 2 ● 5 ● a 3 ● c 6 Factor the third monomial. LCM= 3 ● 5 ● 2 4 ● a 3 ● b 5 ● c 6 Use each factor the greatest number of times it appears.

11. Example 1A LCM of Monomials and Polynomials Answer: 240a 3 b 5 c 6 = 240a 3 b 5 c 6 Simplify.

12. Example 1B LCM of Monomials and Polynomials B. Find the LCM of x 3 – x 2 – 2x and x 2 – 4x + 4. LCM = x(x – 2) 2 (x + 1)Use each factor the greatest number of times it appears as a factor. x 3 – x 2 – 2x=x(x – 2)(x + 1)Factor the first polynomial. x 2 – 4x + 4=(x – 2) 2 Factor the second polynomial. Answer: x(x – 2) 2 (x + 1)
