The correct Answer is:
To resolve the expression \(\frac{2x^2 + 2x + 1}{x^3 + x^2}\) into partial fractions, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Factor the Denominator First, we need to factor the denominator \(x^3 + x^2\): \[ x^3 + x^2 = x^2(x + 1) \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Partial Fraction Decomposition Next, we express the fraction in terms of partial fractions: \[ \frac{2x^2 + 2x + 1}{x^2(x + 1)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x^2} + \frac{C}{x + 1} \] where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are constants that we need to determine. ### Step 3: Combine the Right Side Now, we combine the right side over a common denominator: \[ \frac{A(x)(x + 1) + B(x + 1) + C(x^2)}{x^2(x + 1)} = \frac{2x^2 + 2x + 1}{x^2(x + 1)} \] This gives us the equation: \[ A(x^2 + x) + B(x + 1) + C(x^2) = 2x^2 + 2x + 1 \] ### Step 4: Expand and Collect Like Terms Expanding the left side: \[ Ax^2 + Ax + Bx + B + Cx^2 = (A + C)x^2 + (A + B)x + B \] Now, we equate the coefficients from both sides: 1. For \(x^2\): \(A + C = 2\) 2. For \(x\): \(A + B = 2\) 3. For the constant term: \(B = 1\) ### Step 5: Solve the System of Equations From the third equation, we have: \[ B = 1 \] Substituting \(B\) into the second equation: \[ A + 1 = 2 \implies A = 1 \] Now substituting \(A\) into the first equation: \[ 1 + C = 2 \implies C = 1 \] ### Step 6: Write the Partial Fractions Now we have found the values: \[ A = 1, \quad B = 1, \quad C = 1 \] Thus, we can write the partial fraction decomposition as: \[ \frac{2x^2 + 2x + 1}{x^3 + x^2} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{x + 1} \] ### Final Answer The final result of the partial fraction decomposition is: \[ \frac{2x^2 + 2x + 1}{x^3 + x^2} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{x + 1} \]
