\[\frac{-6x}{(x-6)(x+3)}=\frac{A}{x-6}+\frac{B}{x+3}\] and you need A and B
want to do it the amazingly quick way?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep i would love to

I'd like to see it. @satellite73

eh decomposition en element simple lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to find \(A\) do this
cross out the factor of \(x-6\) in the denominator of \(\frac{-6x}{(x-6)(x+3)}\) and replace \(x\) by \(6\)
in other words visualize it as
\[\frac{-6x}{\cancel{(x-6)}(x+3)}\] and then where you see an \(x\) replace it by \(-6\) to get
\[\frac{-6\times -6}{-6+3}=\frac{36}{3}=12\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and the answer whould be ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well that was wrong wasn't it

then do the same thing to find B cross out the factor and replace \(x\) by \(-3\) (yeah i am sure this time\[\frac{-6x}{(x-6)\cancel{(x+3)}}\]
\[\frac{-6\times 3}{-3-6}=2\]
