Calculus 2 Integration of Distinct Linear Factor Examples and Solution
Calculus 2 Integration of Distinct Linear Factor Examples and Solution
𝑓(𝑥)
A function 𝐹(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥)
, where 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) Polynomials are called a rational
fraction.
If the degree of 𝑓(𝑥) is less than the degree of 𝑔(𝑥), then the rational fraction is
called a proper, otherwise it is called improper.
Every proper rational fraction can be expressed ( at least) as the sum of simpler
fractions called partial fractions.
Example:
2𝑥+1 2𝑥+1
