To find the least common multiple (LCM) of two terms, we need to identify the highest power of each unique factor present in both terms. In this case, the LCM of a³b² and a²b⁵ would be a³b⁵, as it includes the highest power of both 'a' and 'b' present in either term. Therefore, the LCM of a³b² and a²b⁵ is a³b⁵.

RafaThe answer is a^2b^2, because the smallest exponent of the a's is 2 and the same thing with the b's. Therefore, that's the LCM (or least common multiple), because it is the smallest value the two terms share with one another. **When writing an exponent on a computer, you use a carrot (^) to represent the exponent.

What is the LCM of a2b5 plus a3b3?
LCM(a2b5, a3b3) The LCM of both numbers HAS to have the largest coefficient of both variables. For a, it's a3, and for b it is b5. So the LCM is a3b5.
What is the LCM of the numbers 24aaab and 36abb?
Prime factors of 24 are 23 x 3Prime factors of 36 are 22 x 32The LCM is the product of all the primes to their greatest power,so the LCM of 24aaab and 36abb is 23 x 32 x a3b2 = 72a3b2

What is the cross product of two vectors?
To find the cross product of two vectors:If a = [a1, a2, a3] and b = [b1, b2, b3], thena x b = [a2b3 - a3b2, a3b1 - a1b3, a1b2 - a2b1] or(a2b3 - a3b2)i + (a3b1 - a1b3)j + (a1b2 - a2b1)k
Axb Dot bxc x cxa equals a Dot bxc squared How can I prove this using Mathmatica X stands for cross product and dot is or the dot product?
Prove that (axb)n[(bxc)x(cxa)] = [a]n(bxc)]^2 where a,b,and c are all vectors. First, multiply out the cross products. Since the cross product of two vectors is itself a vector, we'll give the cross products some names to make this a little easier to understand: (bxc)=(b2c3-b3c2)i-(b1c3-b3c1)j+(b1c2-b2c1)k = vector d (cxa)=(c2a3-c3a2)i-(c1a3-c3a1)j+(c1a2-c2a1)k = vector v (axb)=(a2b3-a3b2)i-(a1b3-a3b1)j+(a1b2-a2b1)k = vector u => (axb)n[(bxc)x(cxa)] = un[dxv] (dxv)=(d2v3-d3v2)i-(d1v3-d3v1)j+(d1v2-d2v1)k = vector w => un[dxv] = unw = u1w1 + u2w2 + u3w3 Now replace u and w with their vector coordinates (notice that the negative sign is factored into the middle terms, so the variables are switched). u1w1 + u2w2 + u3w3= (a2b3-a3b2)w1 + (a3b1-a1b3)w2 + (a1b2-a2b1)w3 = (a2b3-a3b2)(d2v3-d3v2) + (a3b1-a1b3)(d3v1-d1v3)+ (a1b2-a2b1)(d1v2-d2v1) Now we need to expand the v terms back out: (d2v3-d3v2) = d2(c1a2-c2a1) - d3(c3a1-c1a3) = d2c1a2- d2 c2a1- d3c3a1 + d3c1a3 (d3v1-d1v3) = d3(c2a3-c3a2) - d1(c1a2-c2a1) = d3c2a3 - d3c3a2- d1c1a2+ d1c2a1 (d1v2-d2v1) = d1(c3a1-c1a3) - d2(c2a3-c3a2) = d1c3a1 - d1c1a3 - d2c2a3 + d2c3a2 So: (a2b3-a3b2)(d2v3-d3v2) + (a3b1-a1b3)(d3v1-d1v3)+ (a1b2-a2b1)(d1v2-d2v1) = (a2b3-a3b2)(d2c1a2- d2 c2a1- d3c3a1 + d3c1a3) + (a3b1 - a1b3)(d3c2a3 - d3c3a2- d1c1a2+ d1c2a1)+ (a1b2-a2b1)(d1c3a1 - d1c1a3 - d2c2a3 + d2c3a2) = d2c1a2 a2b3- d2 c2a1 a2b3- d3c3a1 a2b3 + d3c1a3 a2b3- d2c1a2 a3b2+ d2 c2a1 a3b2+ d3c3a1 a3b2- d3c1a3 a3b2 + d3c2a3 a3b1 - d3c3a2 a3b1- d1c1a2 a3b1+ d1c2a1 a3b1- d3c2a3 a1b3+ d3c3a2 a1b3+ d1c1a2 a1b3- d1c2a1 a1b3+ d1c3a1 a1b2 - d1c1a3 a1b2 - d2c2a3 a1b2 + d2c3a2 a1b2- d1c3a1 a2b1+ d1c1a3 a2b1+ d2c2a3 a2b1- d2c3a2 a2b1 Some of the terms cancel out, leaving us with; = d2c1a2 a2b3 - d2 c2a1 a2b3 + d3c1a3 a2b3 - d2c1a2 a3b2 + d3c3a1 a3b2 - d3c1a3 a3b2 + d3c2a3 a3b1 - d3c3a2 a3b1 + d1c2a1 a3b1 - d3c2a3 a1b3 + d1c1a2 a1b3 - d1c2a1 a1b3 + d1c3a1 a1b2 - d1c1a3 a1b2 + d2c3a2 a1b2 - d1c3a1 a2b1 + d2c2a3 a2b1 - d2c3a2 a2b1 Now factor out d1 , d2 , and d3 = d1(c2a1 a3b1 + c1a2 a1b3 - c2a1 a1b3 + c3a1 a1b2 - c1a3 a1b2 - c3a1 a2b1) + d2(c1a2 a2b3 - c2a1 a2b3 - c1a2 a3b2 + c3a2 a1b2 + c2a3 a2b1 - c3a2 a2b1) + d3(c1a3 a2b3 + c3a1 a3b2 - c1a3 a3b2 + c2a3 a3b1 - c3a2 a3b1 - c2a3 a1b3) Now we can factor out a dot product of ( d1 + d2 + d3): = ( d1 + d2 + d3)n[(c2a1 a3b1 + c1a2 a1b3 - c2a1 a1b3 + c3a1 a1b2 - c1a3 a1b2 - c3a1 a2b1) + (c1a2 a2b3 - c2a1 a2b3 - c1a2 a3b2 + c3a2 a1b2 + c2a3 a2b1 - c3a2 a2b1) + (c1a3 a2b3 + c3a1 a3b2 - c1a3 a3b2 + c2a3 a3b1 - c3a2 a3b1 - c2a3 a1b3)] (Remember, to keep from changing the value of the equation we still need to keep the terms grouped together so that they multiply by the correct d components.) Now factor out all the "a" components within the brackets: = ( d1 + d2 + d3)n[(a1 a3{c2b1 - c1b2} + a1 a2{c1b3 - c3b1} + a1 a1{c3b2 - c2b3}) + (a1 a2{c3b2 - c2b3} + a2 a2{c1b3 - c3b1} + a2 a3{c2b1 - c1b2}) + (a1 a3{c3b2 - c2b3} + a2 a3{c1b3 - c3b1} + a3 a3{c2b1 - c1b2})] = dn[( a1 a3+ a1 a2+ a1 a1)n({c2b1- c1b2} +{c1b3 - c3b1} + {c3b2- c2b3}) + (a1 a2 + a2 a2 + a2 a3)n({c1b3- c3b1} + {c2b1- c1b2} + {c3b2- c2b3}) + ( a1 a3+ a2 a3 + a3 a3)n({c3b2- c2b3} + {c1b3- c3b1} + {c2b1- c1b2})] And we know that {c2b1- c1b2} +{c1b3 - c3b1} + {c3b2- c2b3} = (bxc), so we factor out (bxc): = dn[(bxc)n[(a1 a3+ a1 a2+ a1 a1) + (a1 a2 + a2 a2 + a2 a3) + ( a1 a3+ a2 a3 + a3 a3)] = dn[(bxc)n[a1(a3+ a2 + a1) + a2 (a1 + a2 +a3) + a3(a1+ a2 + a3)]] = dn[(bxc)n([a1 + a2 +a3]n[a1 + a2 +a3]) = dn[(bxc)n(a n a)] (from above, remember that d = (bxc) ) = (bxc)n(bxc)n a n a = [an (bxc)]^2

How do you determine the degrees of a given polynomial?
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power that appears in the polynomial. For more than one variable, you must add the powers for each variable, for example, a3b2 is of degree 3 + 2 = 5.
