Partial Fraction Decomposition: (x^4)/(x^3-3x^2+3x-1) Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I appreciate any help

OpenStudy (triciaal):

suggest start by finding factors of the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shouldn't I divide first ?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

3rd degree polynomial so 3 roots

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, divide x64 by the denom

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x^4* by the denom

OpenStudy (triciaal):

notice the constant is -1 factors of -1 are +1 and -1 so (x+ 1) a factor

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

because the degree in the numer has to be smaller than that in the denom

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@SolomonZelman that is written wrong
