• Now we have two equations and two unknowns. Solving for the
values of A and B, we get
Example 1
• Going back to the original fraction,
• Rewriting, we get
Example 3
• Naks.
Case 4: Repeated Quadratic Factors
• Let’s solve each term one by one, starting with the first term.
• Since we know that the term left in the numerator is the first
derivative of the denominator, we can use substitution!
Example 4
• If we let , we get .
• Rewriting,
Example 4
• For the fourth term, we will need a lot of our brain cells. So drink
up (some non-alcoholic beverage), fasten your seat belts, and close
