Chapter 11: Q. 31 (page 765)

In Problems 13鈥�46, write the partial fraction decomposition of each rational expression.
$\frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The partial fraction decomposition of a rational expression is

$\frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} = \frac{\frac{2}{7}}{(3 x - 2)} + \frac{\frac{1}{7}}{(2 x + 1)}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

Given rational expression is

$\frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)}$

Step 2. Partial fraction decomposition

partial fraction decomposition of a rational expression

$\frac{P (x)}{Q (x)} = \frac{A_{1}}{x - a_{1}} + \frac{A_{2}}{x - a_{2}} + 鈰� + \frac{A_{n}}{x - a_{n}} \frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} = \frac{A}{(3 x - 2)} + \frac{B}{(2 x + 1)} 鈰� (i) \frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} = \frac{A (2 x + 1)}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} + \frac{B (3 x - 2)}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} x = A (2 x + 1) + B (3 x - 2) x + 0 = (2 A + 3 B) x + (A - 2 B) 鈰� (i i)$

Step 3. Values of coefficients and constants of the numerator

Compare the constants in equation ii

$0 = A - 2 B A = 2 B$

Compare the coefficient of xin equation ii and Substitute the expression for A

$1 = 2 A + 3 B 1 = 2 (2 B) + 3 (B) B = \frac{1}{7}$

$A = 2 (\frac{1}{7}) = \frac{2}{7}$

Step 4. partial fraction decomposition of a rational expression

Substitute the value of Aand B in the equation i

$\frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} = \frac{A}{(3 x - 2)} + \frac{B}{(2 x + 1)} \frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} = \frac{\frac{2}{7}}{(3 x - 2)} + \frac{\frac{1}{7}}{(2 x + 1)}$

So the partial fraction decomposition of a rational expression is $\frac{x}{(3 x - 2) (2 x + 1)} = \frac{\frac{2}{7}}{(3 x - 2)} + \frac{\frac{1}{7}}{(2 x + 1)}$
