 INTEGRATION OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
(LINEAR AND REPEATED LINEAR
FACTORS)
- This is where we use partial fractions to integrate the rational function.
- RECALL:
EXAMPLE 1: Find ---- Denominator has 2 linear factors
We must first change this rational function into partial fractions:

When
---
When
-----

Hence:
We must now find:

EXAMPLE 2: Find
We must first change this rational function into partial fractions:

When
--- 3
When
-----

Hence:
We must now find:
EXAMPLE 3: Find We must factorize the denominator to get 2 linear factors
This rational function was changed to the following partial fraction:

When
---
When
---
When

---
Hence: =
We must now find:

-------- Recall:
EXAMPLE 4: Find --- The denominator has a linear factor and a repeated linear factor
This rational function was changed to the following partial fraction:
=

When =-1

---
When =

---
When

---
Hence: =

We must now find:
