SP #5: Unit J Concept 6: Decomposing Partial Fractions together with REPEATED FACTORS



In this student problem you will learn how to decompose a partial fraction with a factor that will be repeated at least once. This specific student problem will have three factors that are repeated. This type of decomposing is very similar to that of concept 5. In both you must separate the factors and put a variable (A,BC, etc,) as the numerator.
However,  you must remember when you separate these factors that are the same you must count up the powers. in the factor that is repeated on the denominator. This means that your first factor that is repeated will go to the power of one and then your second factor repeated to the power of two and so on.
