Partial Fractions TS: Explicitly assessing information and drawing conclusions Warm-Up: Find numerators for the below fractions to complete the equality
Partial Fractions The separation of a fraction into two or more fractions with a single factor in the denominator. Note: The degree of the numerator must be strictly lower than that of the denominator to separate into partial fractions Example:
Substitution (of strategic values) Steps: i) Factor Denominator ii) Split into Partial Fractions iii) Multiply by LCD iv) Use strategic values to solve for A,B,C, etc.
Solving with co-efficients Steps: i) Factor Denominator ii) Split into partial fractions iii) Multiply by LCD iv) Distribute A, B,C etc v) Solve using simultaneous equations
Find a Partial Fraction decomposition.
