Question

Resolve into Partial Fractions:

`(5x + 7)/((x-1)(x+3))`

Sum

Solution

`(5x + 7)/((x-1)(x+3)) = "A"/(x-1) + "B"/(x+3)`

⇒ 5x + 7 = A(x + 3) +B(x - 1)   ...(1)

Substituting x = 1 in (1) we get,

5(1) + 7 = A(1 + 3) +B(1 - 1)

⇒ 12 = A(4)

⇒ `12/4` = 3

⇒ A = 3`   .....(1)

Substituting x = - 3 in (1) we get,

5(-3) + 7 = A(- 3 + 3) +B(- 3 - 1)

⇒ - 8 = B(-4)

⇒ B = `(-8)/(-4)`

⇒ B = 2

∴ `(5x + 7)/((x-1)(x+3)) = 3/(x - 1) + 2/(x + 3)`
