1 Section.7 Partial Fractions Section.7 Partial Fractions N You should know how to decompose a rational function into partial fractions. D (a) If the fraction is improper, divide to obtain N D p N D (a) where p is a polnomial. (b) Factor the denominator completel into linear and irreducible quadratic factors. (c) For each factor of the form p q m, the partial fraction decomposition includes the terms p q p q... m p q. m (d) For each factor of the form a b c n, the partial fraction decomposition includes the terms You should know how to determine the values of the constants in the numerators. (a) Set a b c a b c... n n a b c. n N D partial fraction decomposition. (b) Multipl both sides b D to obtain the basic equation. (c) For distinct linear factors, substitute the zeros of the distinct linear factors into the basic equation. (d) For repeated linear factors, use the coefficients found in part (c) to rewrite the basic equation. Then use other values of to solve for the remaining coefficients. (e) For quadratic factors, epand the basic equation, collect like terms, and then equate the coefficients of like terms. Solutions to Odd-Numbered Eercises. Matches (b).. Matches (d) D E

Using the second and fourth equations, we have D 0 and D 0; b subtraction D 0, so D 0. Substituting for and 0 for D in the first and second equations, we have and 0, so and. D , 0, and 5. Subtracting both sides of the second equation from the first gives ; combining this with the third equation gives and. Since, we also have Let : Let :
