The correct Answer is:
To resolve the expression \(\frac{5x + 6}{(2 + x)(1 - x)}\) into partial fractions, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the partial fraction decomposition We start by expressing the given fraction as a sum of simpler fractions: \[ \frac{5x + 6}{(2 + x)(1 - x)} = \frac{A}{2 + x} + \frac{B}{1 - x} \] where \(A\) and \(B\) are constants that we need to determine. ### Step 2: Combine the right-hand side To combine the right-hand side into a single fraction, we find a common denominator: \[ \frac{A}{2 + x} + \frac{B}{1 - x} = \frac{A(1 - x) + B(2 + x)}{(2 + x)(1 - x)} \] This gives us: \[ \frac{A(1 - x) + B(2 + x)}{(2 + x)(1 - x)} = \frac{5x + 6}{(2 + x)(1 - x)} \] ### Step 3: Set the numerators equal Since the denominators are the same, we can equate the numerators: \[ A(1 - x) + B(2 + x) = 5x + 6 \] ### Step 4: Expand the left-hand side Expanding the left-hand side, we get: \[ A - Ax + 2B + Bx = 5x + 6 \] Combining like terms results in: \[ (-A + B)x + (A + 2B) = 5x + 6 \] ### Step 5: Set up a system of equations Now, we can set up a system of equations by comparing coefficients: 1. For the coefficient of \(x\): \(-A + B = 5\) 2. For the constant term: \(A + 2B = 6\) ### Step 6: Solve the system of equations We can solve these equations simultaneously. From the first equation, we can express \(B\) in terms of \(A\): \[ B = A + 5 \] Substituting \(B\) into the second equation: \[ A + 2(A + 5) = 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ A + 2A + 10 = 6 \implies 3A + 10 = 6 \implies 3A = -4 \implies A = -\frac{4}{3} \] Now substituting back to find \(B\): \[ B = -\frac{4}{3} + 5 = -\frac{4}{3} + \frac{15}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \] ### Step 7: Write the partial fraction decomposition Now that we have \(A\) and \(B\), we can write the partial fraction decomposition: \[ \frac{5x + 6}{(2 + x)(1 - x)} = \frac{-\frac{4}{3}}{2 + x} + \frac{\frac{11}{3}}{1 - x} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the resolved partial fractions are: \[ \frac{5x + 6}{(2 + x)(1 - x)} = -\frac{4}{3(2 + x)} + \frac{11}{3(1 - x)} \]
