partial fraction decomposition of (x^3)/(x^2+10x+9)

OpenStudy (hy123):

Hello

hartnn (hartnn):

hi :)

hartnn (hartnn):

for partial fractions, the degree of numerator should be less than degree of denominator.

OpenStudy (hy123):

I got A/(x+1)+B/(x+9) and it was wrong

hartnn (hartnn):

o, here you'll need to first divide x^3 by (x^2+10x+9)

OpenStudy (hy123):

So wouldnt it be 10x+9/x?

hartnn (hartnn):

no, you need to perform long division...can you ?

OpenStudy (hy123):

No

hartnn (hartnn):

|dw:1360212052038:dw| its like normal division, can you figur out next step ?
