Partial Fraction Decomposition (Shown Below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x+6 }{x ^{3} -3x ^{2}-4x+12}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus can you help with only the first part

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so you want to factorize the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still trying to figure out the quadratic part like bx+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ a }{ x-3 }+\frac{ bx+c }{ x ^{2}-4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah that looks right, (im not sure how you got those factors but they are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the correct use of bx+c, does it ever go like bx-c?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if you had -c, would would just find a different values for c it wouldn't make any difference in the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks again
