Question

write the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression

Answer 1

\[\frac {18x^{2} -68x+24}{\left(x\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)} = \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{x-2}+\frac{c}{x-4}\]

Answer 2

i honestly have no clue

Answer 3

its multiple choice I just cant screenshot the answers

Answer 4

but this confuses me

Answer 5

now just multiply each term on the right to get the common denominator.
Ex.\[\frac{a\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{x\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}\]
do that for each term and then combine like terms.
