The correct Answer is:
To resolve the expression \(\frac{(1+x)(1+2x)}{(1-x)(1-2x)}\) 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 partial fractions: \[ \frac{(1+x)(1+2x)}{(1-x)(1-2x)} = \frac{A}{1-x} + \frac{B}{1-2x} \] where \(A\) and \(B\) are constants that we need to determine. ### Step 2: Clear the Denominator To eliminate the denominators, multiply both sides by \((1-x)(1-2x)\): \[ (1+x)(1+2x) = A(1-2x) + B(1-x) \] ### Step 3: Expand Both Sides Now, we will expand both sides of the equation: - Left-hand side: \[ (1+x)(1+2x) = 1 + 2x + x + 2x^2 = 1 + 3x + 2x^2 \] - Right-hand side: \[ A(1-2x) + B(1-x) = A - 2Ax + B - Bx = (A + B) + (-2A - B)x \] ### Step 4: Equate Coefficients Now, we equate the coefficients of the corresponding powers of \(x\) from both sides: 1. Constant term: \(A + B = 1\) 2. Coefficient of \(x\): \(-2A - B = 3\) 3. Coefficient of \(x^2\): There is no \(x^2\) term on the right side, so we can ignore this for now. ### Step 5: Solve the System of Equations We have the following system of equations: 1. \(A + B = 1\) (Equation 1) 2. \(-2A - B = 3\) (Equation 2) From Equation 1, we can express \(B\) in terms of \(A\): \[ B = 1 - A \] Substituting \(B\) into Equation 2: \[ -2A - (1 - A) = 3 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ -2A - 1 + A = 3 \implies -A - 1 = 3 \implies -A = 4 \implies A = -4 \] Now substituting \(A\) back into Equation 1 to find \(B\): \[ -4 + B = 1 \implies B = 5 \] ### Step 6: Write the Partial Fraction Decomposition Now we can write the partial fraction decomposition: \[ \frac{(1+x)(1+2x)}{(1-x)(1-2x)} = \frac{-4}{1-x} + \frac{5}{1-2x} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the resolved expression into partial fractions is: \[ \frac{-4}{1-x} + \frac{5}{1-2x} \] ---
