To write the Partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression
Answer to Problem 61E
The partial fraction of expansion is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The rational expression is
The rational expression is
Here the denominator can be expressed in terms of product of linear factors and the given rational expression can be expressed as sum of partial fraction.
where
Now , for finding the value of coefficients
Comparing constant terms in the equation
Comparing coefficients of
therefore ,
Checking algebraically,
Checking Graphically,
Interpretation:
The graph of rational expression and partial fraction is same hence graphically it is proved that
