The correct Answer is:
To resolve the expression \(\frac{1}{(1-2x)^2(1-3x)}\) 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. Since we have a repeated linear factor \((1-2x)^2\) and a simple linear factor \((1-3x)\), we can write: \[ \frac{1}{(1-2x)^2(1-3x)} = \frac{A}{1-2x} + \frac{B}{(1-2x)^2} + \frac{C}{1-3x} \] where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are constants to be determined. ### Step 2: Clear the denominators Multiply both sides by the common denominator \((1-2x)^2(1-3x)\) to eliminate the fractions: \[ 1 = A(1-2x)(1-3x) + B(1-3x) + C(1-2x)^2 \] ### Step 3: Expand the right-hand side Now we expand the right-hand side: 1. Expand \(A(1-2x)(1-3x)\): \[ A(1 - 2x - 3x + 6x^2) = A(1 - 5x + 6x^2) \] 2. Expand \(B(1-3x)\): \[ B(1 - 3x) \] 3. Expand \(C(1-2x)^2\): \[ C(1 - 4x + 4x^2) \] Combining these gives: \[ 1 = A(1 - 5x + 6x^2) + B(1 - 3x) + C(1 - 4x + 4x^2) \] ### Step 4: Combine like terms Now, we combine all the terms on the right-hand side: \[ 1 = (A + B + C) + (-5A - 3B - 4C)x + (6A + 4C)x^2 \] ### Step 5: Set up equations Now we can equate the coefficients from both sides of the equation. The left side has coefficients: - Constant term: \(1\) - Coefficient of \(x\): \(0\) - Coefficient of \(x^2\): \(0\) From this, we get the following system of equations: 1. \(A + B + C = 1\) 2. \(-5A - 3B - 4C = 0\) 3. \(6A + 4C = 0\) ### Step 6: Solve the system of equations From the third equation \(6A + 4C = 0\), we can express \(C\) in terms of \(A\): \[ C = -\frac{3}{2}A \] Substituting \(C\) into the first equation: \[ A + B - \frac{3}{2}A = 1 \implies -\frac{1}{2}A + B = 1 \implies B = 1 + \frac{1}{2}A \] Now substitute \(B\) and \(C\) into the second equation: \[ -5A - 3(1 + \frac{1}{2}A) - 4(-\frac{3}{2}A) = 0 \] \[ -5A - 3 - \frac{3}{2}A + 6A = 0 \] \[ \frac{1}{2}A - 3 = 0 \implies A = 6 \] Now substitute \(A\) back to find \(B\) and \(C\): \[ C = -\frac{3}{2}(6) = -9 \] \[ B = 1 + \frac{1}{2}(6) = 4 \] ### Step 7: Write the partial fraction decomposition Now we can write the partial fraction decomposition: \[ \frac{1}{(1-2x)^2(1-3x)} = \frac{6}{1-2x} + \frac{4}{(1-2x)^2} - \frac{9}{1-3x} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the partial fraction decomposition of \(\frac{1}{(1-2x)^2(1-3x)}\) is: \[ \frac{6}{1-2x} + \frac{4}{(1-2x)^2} - \frac{9}{1-3x} \] ---
