What is the lcd of the following rational expressions? x/x+1 , 7x/x-1 i'm so confused! ?

, 

To find the least common denominator, multiply by (x - 1) and multiply by (x + 1).

(x + 1)(x - 1) = x² - x + x - 1 ⇒ x² - 1

x² - 1 is the LCD.

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
