Find the LCD (y^2)/(15(x^2-6x+9))

$\frac{y^{2}}{15 (x^{2} - 6 x + 9)}$

Step 1

Factor using the perfect square rule.

Rewrite $9$ as $3^{2}$ .

$\frac{y^{2}}{15 (x^{2} - 6 x + 3^{2})}$

Check that the middle term is two times the product of the numbers being squared in the first term and third term.

$6 x = 2 \cdot x \cdot 3$

Rewrite the polynomial.

$\frac{y^{2}}{15 (x^{2} - 2 \cdot x \cdot 3 + 3^{2})}$

Factor using the perfect square trinomial rule $a^{2} - 2 a b + b^{2} = {(a - b)}^{2}$ , where $a = x$ and $b = 3$ .

$\frac{y^{2}}{15 {(x - 3)}^{2}}$

Step 2

Finding the LCD of a list of values is the same as finding the LCM of the denominators of those values.

$15 {(x - 3)}^{2}$
