10.7 Partial Fraction Decomposition P.F.

N ( x)
Let f ( x ) = ; where N ( x ) and D ( x ) are polynomials.
D ( x)

1. If deg ree of N ( x ) deg ree of D ( x ) , then use long discussion to write:

N ( x) R ( x)
f ( x) = = Q ( x) + .
D ( x) D ( x)

2. Factor D ( x ) completely.
D ( x ) could be factored into product of :
i) Linear : mx + b
ii) irreducible Quadratic: ax 2 + b x + c ; (b 2
4ac < 0 )

( mx + b )
k
3. i) For every linear factor ; we use k fractions of the form:

A1 A2 Ak
+ + +
mx + b ( mx + b ) 2
( mx + b )
k

( ax + b x + c ) we use m fractions of the form:


2 m
ii) For every Irreducible Quadratic factor ;

ax + b x + c ( ax + b x + c )

4. We need to find the values of : Ai ' s , Bi ' s & Ci ' s .
