Chapter 5: Problem 42

Write the partial fraction decomposition of each rational expression. $$\frac{3 x-5}{x^{3}-1}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
A = -2, B and C should be calculated by solving the linear system formed by equating coefficients of the same degree of x on both sides of the equation. The final result will then be \(\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{Bx+C}{x^{2}+x+1}\)

Step by step solution

01

Factorization

The first step is to factorize the denominator. The denominator \(x^{3}-1 = 0\) is a difference of cubes which can be factored into \((x-1)(x^{2}+x+1)=0\)
02

Setting up Partial Fractions

Once we have factored the denominator, the next step is to set up the partial fractions. We can write the original rational expression as the sum of two simpler fractions. i.e., \(\frac{3 x-5}{x^{3}-1}\) can be written as \(\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{Bx+C}{x^{2}+x+1}\) where A, B and C are constants to be determined.
03

Equating Coefficients

Multiply both sides by the original denominator \(x^{3}-1\) to get rid of fractions. This gives \(3x-5 = A(x^{2}+x+1) + (Bx+C)(x-1)\). After expanding and sorting the right side by powers of x, compare coefficients on both sides to solve for A, B and C.
04

Calculate Constants A, B and C

To solve for the coefficients, we'll set x to values that will simplify the equation. Choosing x = 1 gives A = 3 - 5 = -2. For B and C, we should equate the coefficients next to the same degree of x on both sides of the equation and solve the linear system.
05

Final Result

Substitute the values of A, B and C back into the partial fraction decomposition. This gives the final decomposed form of the rational expression.

The weekly demand and supply models for a particular brand of scientific calculator for a chain of stores are given by the demand model \(N=-53 p+1600,\) and the supply model \(N=75 p+320 .\) In these models, \(p\) is the price of the calculator and \(N\) is the number of calculators sold or supplied each week to the stores. a. How many calculators can be sold and supplied at \(\$ 12\) per calculator? b. Find the price at which supply and demand are equal. At this price, how many calculators of this type can be supplied and sold each week?

A patient is not allowed to have more than 330 milligrams of cholesterol per day from a diet of eggs and meat. Each egg provides 165 milligrams of cholesterol. Each ounce of meat provides 110 milligrams. a. Write an inequality that describes the patient's dietary restrictions for \(x\) eggs and \(y\) ounces of meat. b. Graph the inequality. Because \(x\) and \(y\) must be positive, limit the graph to quadrant I only. c. Select an ordered pair satisfying the inequality. What are its coordinates and what do they represent in this situation?
