Question
Find the LCM of each set of polynomials.$2 t^{2}-9 t-5, t^{2}+t-30$
Step 1
Let's start with $2t^{2}-9t-5$. We need to find two numbers that multiply to $-10$ (which is the product of $2$ and $-5$) and add up to $-9$. These numbers are $-10$ and $1$. So, we can write $2t^{2}-9t-5$ as $(2t^{2}-10t+t-5)$. Now, we can factor by Show more…
