SP #4: Unit J Concept 5: Partial Fraction Decomposition with Distinct Factors

                               

 In this student problem, I go over over partial fraction decomposition. We will break down the problem and then we will use our algebraic skills to finish solving the problem. Keep in mind that matrices are back, so make sure you remember how to check your problem with rref. When you start to break down the problem and then go on to foiling, remember to be very careful with basic math (distributing, multiplication, etc.) because it can throw you off. Also, leave the denominator factored out, so it is easier for you to break down the fraction. I used A, B, and C as my letters, but it really does not matter which one you decide to use. However, keep in mind you should avoid X because after all it's one of your variables.
