Answer:
The factors that compose the LCF of the difference are :
2x [tex]\huge\checkmark[/tex]
(x - 2) [tex]\huge\checkmark[/tex]
(x + 6) [tex]\huge\checkmark[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 4x - 12 = x² - 2x + 2x + 4x - 12
= x² - 2x + (6x - 12)
= x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)
= (x - 2)(x + 6)
2x² - 4x = 2x(x - 2)
We get
2x² - 4x = 2x(x - 2)
x² + 4x - 12 = (x - 2)(x + 6)
then
The least common denominator is 2x(x - 2)(x + 6)
