Resolve `(3x+5)/((x+2)(3x-1))` into partial fractions.

Answer» In the given fraction, the denominator has two linear,non-repeated factors.
`:.` The given fraction can be written as the sum of two partial fractions.
Let `(3x+5)/((x+2)(3x-1))=(A)/(x+2)+(B)/(3x-1)`

`C=-2`
Substituting `x=-(1)/(2)` in Eq. `(1)` , we have
`10=(5)/(8)DimpliesD=16`
Substituting `x=0`, we have
`7=3A+3B+C+3D`
Substituting the values of `B,C,D` in the above equation , we get `A=-6`

Resolve `(2x^(2)+5x-1)/(x^(2)-3x-10)` into partial fractions.

Answer» Given, `(2x^(2)+5x-1)/(x^(2)-3x-10)`
We can clearly notice buut the given fraction is an improper fraction. So dividing the numerator by the denominator, we can express `(2x^(2)+5x-1)/(x^(2)-3x-10)` as `(11x+19)/(x^(2)-3x-10)`
Let `(11x+19)/((x+2)(x-5))=(A)/(x+2)+(B)/(x-5)`
`11x+19=A(x-5)+B(x+2)`..........`(1)`
Put `x=5` in Eq. `(1)implies55+19=A(0)+B(7)`
`:.B=(74)/(7)`
Again put `x=2` in Eq. `(1)implies22+19=A(7)+B(0)impliesA=(3)/(7)`
`:.(2x^(2)+5x-1)/(x^(2)-3x-10)=2+(3)/(7(x+2))+(74)/(7(x-5))`.
