Express 2x+1/(x-2)(x²+1) as a partial fraction.

Partial fraction = 1/(x-2) - x/(x^2+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

Express 2x+1/(x-2)(x²+1) as a partial fraction.

Note: it will be assumed that there was a typo in the interpretation of parentheses to mean

(2x+1) / ( (x-2)(x^2+1) )

Let

(2x+1) / ( (x-2)(x^2+1) ) = A/(x-2) + (Bx+C)/(x^2+1) (0)

(2x+1) / ( (x-2)(x^2+1) ) = (A(x^2+1)+(Bx+C)(x-2)) / ( (x-2)(B/(x^2+1) )

(2x+1) / ( (x-2)(x^2+1) ) = (Ax^2+A+Bx^2+(C-2B)x-2C) / ( (x-2)(B/(x^2+1) )

(2x+1) / ( (x-2)(x^2+1) ) = ( (A+B)x^2+(C-2B)x+A-2C ) / ( (x-2)(B/(x^2+1) )

Match numerators

2x+1 = (A+B)x^2+(C-2B)x+A-2C

Match coefficients,

A+B = 0 (1)

-2B+C = 2 (2)

A-2C = 1 (3)

Solve for A, B and C

Substitute A from (1) in (3)

-B - 2C =1  

transpose and solve for B

B = -2C-1  (4)

Substitue B from (4) in (2)

-2(-2C-1) + C = 2  

simplify

5C = 2-2 = 0

C=0  (5)

substitute (5)  in (4)

B = -2C-1 = -1  (6)

Substitue (6) in (1)

A+(-1) = 0

A=1 (7)

Using values from (7), (6) and (5) to substitute in (0)

we get

(2x+1) / ( (x-2)(x^2+1) ) = 1/(x-2) - x/(x^2+1)

as the required partial fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

The partial fraction form will be ...

f(2x−x2)=−3x2+6x−1

step-by-step explanation:

set up the composite function and evaluate.

f(2x−x2)=−3x2+6x−1
