3.4 Partial Fractions

[STARTS AT 34:28]

Instructor: Set up partial fraction decomposition for this. 

So as we had earlier, this is going to be A over x plus 2 plus B over x minus 3 to the first power plus C x minus 3 squared plus, oh, x squared plus 4 is what we're going to put in here. But that does not factor. It's irreducible. So we're actually going to use that linear coefficient, as I would call it. 

And then last, x squared plus 4 squared. So we'll have Fx plus G. We will hardly ever need that many variables. But that's how that will break down.
