Student Problem #5


What is it about?
This problem is from Unit J Concept 5: Partial Fraction Decomposition with distinct factors. First we had to start by having a factored equation and then we had to add it. After we added it, we needed to do partial fraction decomposition to get our answer. In this concept each of our factors is different.

What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?
In this concept we need to start by separating our fraction into three different fractions. Then we need to multiply each fraction by the common factor. Next we had to combine like terms. From those like terms we had to create equations and use elimination to find the value of each variable. After that, we plug in the values form the variables back into the original equation. The tricky part about this concept is making sure you factored right and also that you didn't forget any negatives.
