(a) To resolve the fraction 4(x-4)/(x²-3x-3) into partial fractions, we need to factor the denominator first.
The denominator x²-3x-3 can be factored as (x-3)(x+1).
Now, we can write the fraction as:
4(x-4)/((x-3)(x+1))
To resolve this into partial fractions, we need to find the constants A and B such that:
4(x-4)/((x-3)(x+1)) = A/(x-3) + B/(x+1)
To find A and B, we can multiply both sides of the equation by (x-3)(x+1):
4(x-4) = A(x+1) + B(x-3)
Expanding both sides:
4x - 16 = Ax + A + Bx - 3B
Now, we can equate the coefficients of x on both sides:
4 = A + B
And the constant terms on both sides:
-16 = A - 3B
Solving these two equations simultaneously, we find:
A = -4
B = 8
Therefore, the partial fraction decomposition of 4(x-4)/(x²-3x-3) is:
4(x-4)/((x-3)(x+1)) = -4/(x-3) + 8/(x+1)
(b) To resolve the fraction (x²+9x+8)/(x²+x-6) into partial fractions, we need to factor the denominator first.
The denominator x²+x-6 can be factored as (x-2)(x+3).
Now, we can write the fraction as:
(x²+9x+8)/((x-2)(x+3))
To resolve this into partial fractions, we need to find the constants A and B such that:
(x²+9x+8)/((x-2)(x+3)) = A/(x-2) + B/(x+3)
To find A and B, we can multiply both sides of the equation by (x-2)(x+3):
(x²+9x+8) = A(x+3) + B(x-2)
Expanding both sides:
x² + 9x + 8 = Ax + 3A + Bx - 2B
Now, we can equate the coefficients of x on both sides:
1 = A + B
And the constant terms on both sides:
8 = 3A - 2B
Solving these two equations simultaneously, we find:
A = 5
B = -4
Therefore, the partial fraction decomposition of (x²+9x+8)/(x²+x-6) is:
(x²+9x+8)/((x-2)(x+3)) = 5/(x-2) - 4/(x+3)
(c) To resolve the fraction (5x²-2x-19)/((x-1)²(x+3)) into partial fractions, we need to factor the denominator first.
The denominator (x-1)²(x+3) is already factored.
Now, we can write the fraction as:
(5x²-2x-19)/((x-1)²(x+3))
To resolve this into partial fractions, we need to find the constants A, B, and C such that:
(5x²-2x-19)/((x-1)²(x+3)) = A/(x-1) + B/(x-1)² + C/(x+3)
To find A, B, and C, we can multiply both sides of the equation by (x-1)²(x+3):
(5x²-2x-19) = A(x-1)(x+3) + B(x+3) + C(x-1)²
Expanding both sides:
5x² - 2x - 19 = A(x²+2x-3) + B(x+3) + C(x²-2x+1)
Now, we can equate the coefficients of x² on both sides:
5 = A + C
And the coefficients of x on both sides:
-2 = 2A - 2C + B
And the constant terms on both sides:
-19 = -3A + B + C
Solving these three equations simultaneously, we find:
A = 2
B = -1
C = 3
Therefore, the partial fraction decomposition of (5x²-2x-19)/((x-1)²(x+3)) is:
(5x²-2x-19)/((x-1)²(x+3)) = 2/(x-1) + (-1)/(x-1)² + 3/(x
