    The document summarizes solving a partial fraction decomposition problem: 1) The denominator is factorized into (x - 3)(x + 2). 2) The partial fraction is set up as A/(x - 3) + B/(x + 2). 3) Equations are set up by equating coefficients and solving for A and B, finding A = 11/5 and B = 14/5.

    Question

    1(a)

    Decompose
    5𝑥 − 4

    𝑥! −𝑥−6

    Answer :

    SUBSTITUTION METHOD

    1. factorise denominator
    5𝑥 − 4

    (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 2)

    2. split the denominator (partial fraction)

    5𝑥 − 4 𝐴 𝐵
    = +
    (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 2) 𝑥 − 3 𝑥 + 2

    3. simplify until get value A and B

    5𝑥 − 4 𝐴(𝑥 + 2) + 𝐵(𝑥 − 3)
    =
    (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 2) (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 2)

    since denominator LHS=RHS, then

    5𝑥 − 4 = 𝐴(𝑥 + 2) + 𝐵(𝑥 − 3)

    choose two values of x,

    𝑥 = 0 ∶ −4 = 2𝐴 − 3𝐵 …(1)
    𝑥 = 1 ∶ 1 = 3𝐴 − 2𝐵 …(2)

    (1)x2 ∶ −8 = 4𝐴 − 6𝐵 …(3)
    (2)x3 ∶ 3 = 9𝐴 − 6𝐵 …(4)

    (3)-(4) ∶ −11 = −5𝐴
    ""
    𝐴 = #

    Substitute A=11/5 into (1)

    11
    −4 = 2 4 5 − 3𝐵
    5

    22
    −4 = − 3𝐵
    5

    22
    3𝐵 = + 4
    5

    42
    3𝐵 =
    5

    14
    𝐵=
    5


    OR

    ELIMINATION METHOD

    From
    5𝑥 − 4 = 𝐴(𝑥 + 2) + 𝐵(𝑥 − 3)

    Choose

    1. 𝑥 = −2 ∶ 5(−2) − 4 = 𝐴(−2 + 2) + 𝐵(−2 − 3)

    −14 = 𝐵(−5)

    14
    𝐵 =
    5



    2. 𝑥 = 3 ∶ 5(3) − 4 = 𝐴(3 + 2) + 𝐵(3 − 3)

    11 = 𝐴(5)

    11
    𝐴 =
    5
