The correct Answer is:
To resolve the expression \(\frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x+2)(x-3)}\) into partial fractions, we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the partial fraction decomposition We express the fraction as: \[ \frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} = \frac{A}{2x-1} + \frac{B}{x+2} + \frac{C}{x-3} \] where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are constants that we need to determine. ### Step 2: Clear the denominators Multiply both sides by the denominator \((2x-1)(x+2)(x-3)\) to eliminate the fractions: \[ x^3 = A(x+2)(x-3) + B(2x-1)(x-3) + C(2x-1)(x+2) \] ### Step 3: Expand the right-hand side Now we need to expand the right-hand side: 1. For \(A(x+2)(x-3)\): \[ A[(x^2 - 3x + 2x - 6)] = A[x^2 - x - 6] \] 2. For \(B(2x-1)(x-3)\): \[ B[(2x^2 - 6x - x + 3)] = B[2x^2 - 7x + 3] \] 3. For \(C(2x-1)(x+2)\): \[ C[(2x^2 + 4x - x - 2)] = C[2x^2 + 3x - 2] \] Combining these, we have: \[ x^3 = A(x^2 - x - 6) + B(2x^2 - 7x + 3) + C(2x^2 + 3x - 2) \] ### Step 4: Collect like terms Now, we can collect like terms on the right-hand side: \[ x^3 = (A + 2B + 2C)x^2 + (-A - 7B + 3C)x + (-6A + 3B - 2C) \] ### Step 5: Set up a system of equations Now we can equate the coefficients from both sides: 1. Coefficient of \(x^3\): \(0 = 1\) (not applicable) 2. Coefficient of \(x^2\): \(A + 2B + 2C = 0\) 3. Coefficient of \(x\): \(-A - 7B + 3C = 0\) 4. Constant term: \(-6A + 3B - 2C = 0\) ### Step 6: Solve the system of equations We can solve the equations step by step: 1. From \(A + 2B + 2C = 0\) (1) 2. From \(-A - 7B + 3C = 0\) (2) 3. From \(-6A + 3B - 2C = 0\) (3) From (1), we can express \(A\) in terms of \(B\) and \(C\): \[ A = -2B - 2C \] Substituting \(A\) in (2): \[ -(-2B - 2C) - 7B + 3C = 0 \implies 2B + 2C - 7B + 3C = 0 \implies -5B + 5C = 0 \implies B = C \] Substituting \(B = C\) into (1): \[ A + 2B + 2B = 0 \implies A + 4B = 0 \implies A = -4B \] Substituting \(A\) and \(B\) into (3): \[ -6(-4B) + 3B - 2B = 0 \implies 24B + 3B - 2B = 0 \implies 25B = 0 \implies B = 0 \] Thus, \(B = 0\) implies \(C = 0\) and \(A = 0\). ### Step 7: Final values Now substituting back, we find: - \(A = 0\) - \(B = 0\) - \(C = 0\) Thus, the partial fraction decomposition is: \[ \frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} = 0 + 0 + 0 \] ### Conclusion The final result is: \[ \frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} = 0 \]
