True/False

An estimating clerk at a construction firm is evaluating a material waste formula represented by the complex rational expression 3x+25x−2−3x2−4\frac{\frac{3}{x+2}}{\frac{5}{x-2}-\frac{3}{x^2-4}}. True or False: When identifying the Least Common Denominator (LCD) to simplify this expression, the correct LCD is (x+2)(x−2)(x2−4)(x+2)(x-2)(x^2-4) because you must multiply all the inner denominators together.
