I just need step-by-step guidance, not the answer.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
first divide
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
did long division recently ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good.
divide so that, degree of numerator becomes less than degree of denominator

I got 2 + 7x + 6/ x^2 + x -6.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To get a proper fraction?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 + \(\dfrac{7x + 6}{ x^2 + x - 6}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
that looks right,
next u need to wry about converting :
7x+ 6/ x^2 + x -6.
to partial fractions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x + 3)(x - 2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, next setup the fractions
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you leave out the 2 that's what I'm confused about...
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yup leave out the 2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
can u wish anything simpler than 2 to integrate ? :)
leave 2 as it is, and convert the remaining fraction to partial fractions...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, what i got \( 2+ \dfrac{4}{x-2} + \dfrac{3}{x+3}\).

Is that correct?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
how did u get that ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is it wrong?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
it is correct,
im asking how did u arrive at that...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\( 7x + 6=\dfrac{A}{x-2} + \dfrac{B}{x + 3}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
wat happened to denominator on left side ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What denominator?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large \frac{7x + 6}{\color{red}{(x+2)(x+3)}}=\dfrac{A}{x-2} + \dfrac{B}{x + 3}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
^^that denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I didn't write it.
