1 8 CHAPTER 4. INTEGRALS 4.8 Partial Fraction Decomposition 4.8. Need to Know The following material is assumed to be known for this section. If this is not the case, you will need to review it.. When are two polynomials equal?. Relationship between the roots (zeros) of a polynomial and its factors. 3. How to factor polynomials. 4. Long division of polynomials Introduction This handout describes a method to rewrite a fraction we do not know how to integrate into simpler (partial) fractions we know how to integrate. This method works for rational functions, that is functions which can be written as the quotient of two polynomial functions. For the remaining part of this document, we will assume that we have a rational function p () in which degree of p () < degree of q (). If this is not q () the case, we can always perform long division. For eample, if we were given 4 the fraction. We would perform long division to obtain 4 = ( ) ( + ) + 4 = + + We then would apply partial fraction decomposition to. In this class, we will use partial fraction decomposition as an integration technique. The ultimate goal is to decompose a fraction so we can integrate it. In this document, we will focus on the decomposition. Keep in mind why we are doing this decomposition. How we perform partial fraction decomposition depends of the denominator of the fraction. We consider several cases Case : q() is a product of distinct linear factors. Let us assume that q () is a product of n distinct linear factors that is q () = (a + b ) (a + b )... (a n + b n ) Then, p () q () = A A A n a + b a + b a n + b n
2 4.8. PARTIAL FRACTION DECOMPOSITION 9 Finding the decomposition amounts to finding the coeffi cients A,..., A n. Hence, we have n coeffi cients to find. It is a known fact in mathematics that to find n unknowns, we need n equations (as many equations as unknowns). Thus, we need to generate n equations involving the coeffi cients A,..., A n. Solving these equations will give us the coeffi cients we want. This can be done two different ways. We illustrate this in the eamples below. Remark 39 p () does not play a role in the way the decomposition is written. + Eample 30 Write the decomposition of ( ) ( 3) ( + )? When the question is asked this way, you only have to write the decomposition but not to find the coeffi cients. From what is eplained above, we see that + ( ) ( 3) ( + ) = A + B 3 + C + Eample 3 Find the decomposition for + 3 We begin by factoring the denominator. We obtain ( + 3) ( ). According to the decomposition we wrote above, we have: ( + 3) ( ) = A B We need to find A and B. Multiplying each side by the denominator of the fraction on the left and simplifying, we obtain: = A ( ) + B ( + 3) = A A + B + 3B = (A + B) A + 3B Two polynomials are equal if their corresponding coeffi cients are equal. gives us the following system: This { A + B = A + 3B = 0 A = 3 The solution of this system is: 4 B = Thus, we have = ( ) There is an easier way which works in this case. We show it on the net eample.
3 0 CHAPTER 4. INTEGRALS Eample 3 Find the decomposition for ( ) ( + 5) ( 3) The denominator is already factored. The decomposition is: ( ) ( + 5) ( 3) = A + B C 3 We need to find A, B, and C. We begin the same way, we multiply each side by the denominator of the fraction on the left, and simplify. We obtain: = A ( + 5) ( 3) + B ( ) ( 3) + C ( ) ( + 5) Then we notice that since the above equality is true for every, it will be true for specific values of. We select values for which will make all but one of the coeffi cients go away. We will then be able to solve for that coeffi cient. More precisely, When =, we obtain: When = 5, we obtain When = 3, we obtain 0 = A (6) ( ) A = 0 30 = B ( 6) ( 8) B = B = = C () (8) Therefore, the decomposition is: C = 3 8 ( ) ( + 5) ( 3) = 8 ( ) Case : q() is a product of linear factors, some being repeated The factors which are not repeated will be decomposed as above. Suppose that q () also contains (a + b) m that is a + b is repeated m times. The decomposition for this factor will be A a + b + A (a + b) A m (a + b) m
4 4.8. PARTIAL FRACTION DECOMPOSITION Eample 33 Find the decomposition for The decomposition is: ( ) ( + ) 3 = A + B + + ( ) ( + ) 3 C ( + ) + D ( + ) 3 Then, we proceed as before. We multiply each side by the denominator of the fraction on the left and simplify. We obtain: = A ( + ) 3 + B ( ) ( + ) + C ( ) ( + ) + D ( ) We need to find A, B, C, and D. We can use either of the methods described in the first case. If =, we get If =, we get = 7A A = 7 = 3D D = 3 We still have to find B and C. For this, we choose two more values for and write the corresponding system. We now know A and D, so we can use the value we found for them. If =, we get If = 0, we get = 8A 4B C D = 6 7 4B C 3 4B + C = B + C = 34 7 = A B C D = 7 B C 3 B + C = B + C = 38 7
5 CHAPTER 4. INTEGRALS Thus, we need to solve 4B + C = 34 7 B + C = 38 7 The solution is : { B = 7, C = 7 9}. Putting all this together, we get ( ) ( + ) 3 = 7 ( ) 7 ( + ) ( + ) + 3 ( + ) Case 3: q() is a product of distinct irreducible quadratic factors Recall that a term is called irreducible if it cannot be factored any further. Thus + + is irreducible, so is +. Be careful, ( + ) is not considered a quadratic term. You must think of it as a linear term appearing twice. We can generalize what we did in the previous two cases as follows. Instead of thinking of linear factors, think that when we write the decomposition, the degree of the term in the numerator is less than the degree of the term in the denominator. When we had linear factors in the denominator, it meant that we had to have terms of degree 0 in the numerator, that is we had constant terms. If the denominator contains irreducible quadratic factors, then the numerator will contain linear terms. We look at an eample to see how the decomposition is written. Eample 34 Find the decomposition for ( + ) ( + ) If we apply a method similar to that of case, the decomposition will contain two fractions, one for each irreducible factor. However, since the degree of the denominator is now, the degree of the numerator will be, that is we will have linear terms. Recall that a linear term is of the form a + b. Thus, ( + ) ( + ) = A + B + + C + D + To solve, we proceed as above. First, we multiply each side by the denominator of the fraction on the left, and simplify. We obtain: = (A + B) ( + ) + (C + D) ( + ) We then pick 4 different values for to get a system of 4 equations, which we solve. The answer is: ( + ) ( + ) = + +
6 4.8. PARTIAL FRACTION DECOMPOSITION Case 4: q() is a product of irreducible quadratic factors, some being repeated This is similar to case, with linear terms in the numerator and quadratic terms in the denominator. Eample 35 Write the decomposition for ( + + ) 3 ( + + ) 3 = A + B C + D ( + + ) + E + F ( + + ) 3 We would find the coeffi cients as above General Case: q() is a miture of the above Eample 36 Find the decomposition for ( ) ( + + ) 3 = A + B ( ) The answer is ( ) ( + + ) 3 + C + D E + F ( + + ) + G + H ( + + ) 3 ( ) ( + + ) 3 = 7 ( ) 7 ( ) ( + + ) Application + 3 ( + + ) 3 The idea behind this decomposition is that once the fraction is decomposed, we can integrate it. Eample 37 Find + 3 d We found earlier that + 3 = ( ). Therefore, Using substitution + 3 d = ( 3 4 d ) d = 3 4 ln ln 4
7 4 CHAPTER 4. INTEGRALS Eample 38 Find ( + ) ( + ) d We saw earlier as an eample that the partial fraction decomposition of was Therefore ( + ) ( + ) = + + ( + ) ( + ) d = + d + d ( + ) ( + ) We can do the first integral by substitution. If we let u = +, then du = d and therefore + d = du u = ln u = ln ( + ) The second integral is done in a similar way. We obtain + d = ln ( + ) It follows that ( + ) ( + ) d = ln ( + ) ln ( + ) = ( ) ln = ln + + C Eample 39 Find 3 d The function we are integrating is a rational function. However, the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator. So, the first step is to perform long division. We obtain It follows that 3 = + 3 d = d + d (4.)
8 4.8. PARTIAL FRACTION DECOMPOSITION 5 We can do the first integral. The second, is the integral of a rational function. To be able to evaluate it, we first decompose into partial fractions. = ( ) ( + ) = A + B + We need to find A and B. We do it using the techniques described above. First, we multiply each side by the denominator of the fraction on the left to obtain = A ( + ) + B ( ) When =, we get = A or A =. When =, we get = B or B =. Therefore, = [ + ] + If we replace what we just found in equation 4., we obtain 3 d = d + d + d + These are integrals we can handle. 3 d = + ln + ln Problems Do the problems below: = + ln.
