1. Perform long division to express the given expression as a polynomial and a proper fraction (from part a).
Denominator: x(2x+1)2=x(4x2+4x+1)=4x3+4x2+x
By long division:
8x3+3x+1=2(4x3+4x2+x)−8x2+x+1
x(2x+1)28x3+3x+1=2+x(2x+1)2−8x2+x+1
2. Set up the partial fraction decomposition for the proper fraction.
Let x(2x+1)2−8x2+x+1=xA+2x+1B+(2x+1)2C
−8x2+x+1=A(2x+1)2+Bx(2x+1)+Cx
3. Solve for the constants A, B, and C.
Substitute x=0:
1=A(1)2⟹A=1
Substitute x=−21:
−8(−21)2+(−21)+1=C(−21)
−2−21+1=−21C−23=−21C⟹C=3
Compare coefficients of x2:
−8=4A+2B−8=4(1)+2B2B=−12⟹B=−6
4. Write the final expression.
x(2x+1)28x3+3x+1=2+x1−2x+16+(2x+1)23
答案2+x1−2x+16+(2x+1)23
