1. State the correct form for the partial fractions
Let x2(x+1)2x−1=xA+x2B+x+1C
2. Form the basic algebraic identity
Multiplying throughout by x2(x+1) gives:
2x−1=Ax(x+1)+B(x+1)+Cx2
3. Find the values of the constants by substitution
Substitute x=0:
2(0)−1=B(0+1)
−1=B
Substitute x=−1:
2(−1)−1=C(−1)2
−3=C
Compare coefficients of x2:
0=A+C
A=−C=3
4. Write the final partial fraction expression
x2(x+1)2x−1=x3−x21−x+13
答案x3−x21−x+13
