    This document provides guidelines for performing partial fraction decomposition of rational functions. It explains that the rational function should be put in proper form using long division if needed. The denominator should be expressed as a product of linear and irreducible quadratic factors. There are four cases for determining the partial fractions: distinct linear factors yield a single term, repeated linear factors yield a sum of terms, distinct quadratic factors yield a single term, and repeated quadratic factors yield a sum of terms. In each case the goal is to determine the constants in the partial fraction terms.

    Guidelines for Partial Fraction Decomposition of


    f (x) g(x)

    1. If the degree of f ( x ) is not lower than the degree of g ( x ) , use long division to obtain the proper form. 2. Express g ( x ) as a product of linear factors ax + b or irreducible quadratic ax 2 + bx + c , and collect repeated factors so that g ( x ) is a product of different factors of the n n form ( ax + b) or ( ax 2 + bx + c) for a nonnegative integer n. 3. Apply the following rules. Case I. Distinct Linear Factors To each linear factor ax + b occurring once in the denominator of a proper rational fraction, there corresponds a single partial fraction of the form constant to be determined.

    A , where A is a ax + b

    Case II. Repeated Linear Factors To each linear factor ax + b occurring n times in the denominator of a proper rational fraction, there corresponds a sum of n partial fractions of the form A1 A2 An + + + 2 ax + b ( ax + b) ( ax + b) n where the As are constants to be determined. Case III. Distinct Quadratic Factors To each irreducible quadratic factor ax 2 + bx + c occurring once in the denominator of a proper rational fraction, there corresponds a single partial fraction of the form Ax + B , where A and B are constants to be determined. 2 ax + bx + c Case IV. Repeated Quadratic Factors To each irreducible quadratic factor ax 2 + bx + c occurring n times in the denominator of a proper rational fraction, there corresponds a sum of n partial fractions of the form
