The correct Answer is:
To resolve the expression \(\frac{1}{x^6(x+1)}\) into partial fractions, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the partial fraction decomposition We start by expressing \(\frac{1}{x^6(x+1)}\) in terms of its partial fractions. The general form for the decomposition will be: \[ \frac{1}{x^6(x+1)} = \frac{a}{x+1} + \frac{b}{x} + \frac{c}{x^2} + \frac{d}{x^3} + \frac{e}{x^4} + \frac{f}{x^5} + \frac{g}{x^6} \] ### Step 2: Combine the fractions Next, we will combine the right-hand side over a common denominator: \[ \frac{1}{x^6(x+1)} = \frac{a x^6 + b x^5(x+1) + c x^4(x+1) + d x^3(x+1) + e x^2(x+1) + f x(x+1) + g(x+1)}{x^6(x+1)} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the numerator Now, we will simplify the numerator: \[ 1 = a x^6 + b x^6 + b x^5 + c x^5 + c x^4 + d x^4 + d x^3 + e x^3 + e x^2 + f x^2 + f x + g x + g \] Combining like terms, we get: \[ 1 = (a + b)x^6 + (b + c)x^5 + (c + d)x^4 + (d + e)x^3 + (e + f)x^2 + (f + g)x + g \] ### Step 4: Set up equations by comparing coefficients Now we will compare coefficients from both sides of the equation: 1. Coefficient of \(x^6\): \(a + b = 0\) 2. Coefficient of \(x^5\): \(b + c = 0\) 3. Coefficient of \(x^4\): \(c + d = 0\) 4. Coefficient of \(x^3\): \(d + e = 0\) 5. Coefficient of \(x^2\): \(e + f = 0\) 6. Coefficient of \(x\): \(f + g = 0\) 7. Constant term: \(g = 1\) ### Step 5: Solve the equations From \(g = 1\), we can substitute back to find the other coefficients: 1. From \(f + g = 0\): \(f + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow f = -1\) 2. From \(e + f = 0\): \(e - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow e = 1\) 3. From \(d + e = 0\): \(d + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow d = -1\) 4. From \(c + d = 0\): \(c - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow c = 1\) 5. From \(b + c = 0\): \(b + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow b = -1\) 6. From \(a + b = 0\): \(a - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow a = 1\) ### Step 6: Write the final partial fraction decomposition Now we can substitute the values of \(a, b, c, d, e, f, g\) back into the partial fraction decomposition: \[ \frac{1}{x^6(x+1)} = \frac{1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{1}{x^3} + \frac{1}{x^4} - \frac{1}{x^5} + \frac{1}{x^6} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the partial fraction decomposition of \(\frac{1}{x^6(x+1)}\) is: \[ \frac{1}{x+1} - \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{1}{x^3} + \frac{1}{x^4} - \frac{1}{x^5} + \frac{1}{x^6} \] ---
