you have to combine those ugly fractions and compare the tops on both sides of the equations to determine A, B, and C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[38-3t^2-25t=A \left( t-1 \right)\left( t-2 \right)+B \left( t+4 \right)\left( t-2 \right)+C \left( t+4 \right)\left( t-1 \right)\]
comparing co-efficients of like powers
-3=A+B+C
-25=-3A+2B+3C
38=2A-8B-4C
solve for A,B,C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B=-2, C= -4

or \[\frac{ 38-3t^2-25t }{ (t+4)(t-1)(t-2) }=\frac{ 38-3(-4)^2-25(-4) }{ (t+4)(-4-1)(-4-2) }+?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
have you calculated A,B&C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
as stated above
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int\limits \frac{ 3 }{ t+4 }dt=3\ln \left( t+4 \right)=\ln \left( t+4 \right)^3\]
similarly solve other two.

\[\int\limits \frac{ -2 }{ t-1 }dt=-2\ln \left| t-1 \right|=-\ln \left| t-1 \right|^2=-\ln \left( t-1 \right)^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
similarly third
