What is the LCM of $(8x^3 +80x^2 +200x)\, and\,(4x^4+16x^3 - 20x^2)$?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
⇒ 8x3 + 80x2 + 200x = 8x( x2 + 10x + 25)
= 8x(x + 5)2
and
⇒ 4x4 + 16x3 - 20x2 = 4x2 ( x2 + 4x - 5)
= 4x2 (x + 5) (x - 1)
Now,
The LCM of 8x3 + 80x2 + 200x and 4x4 + 16x3 - 20x2 = $ 8x^2(x + 5)^2 ( x- 1)$
