Question

Express in impartial fractions

(12x^3 - 20x^2 + 31x - 49) / [ (x-1) (4x^2 + 9) ]

Is it in the form

A + B/(x-1) + C/(4x^2+9)

Or

A + B/(x-1) + Cx+D/(4x^2+9)

And why?


Thank you

Answer 1

while separating for partial fraction, we see to it that degree of numerator is 1 less than degree of denominator.
so for 4x^2+9, which is quadratic., the numerator will be linear, ax+b.

Answer 2

good

Answer 3

you still have any doubts ? @1234abdc ??
