Exercise:
Partial fraction
Significance : Partial fraction plays a very important role in separation of given expression.
Rational fraction : An expression of the type ( )
Q x
Px , where P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials in
x , is called rational fraction.
e.g 𝑥
(^2) +4𝑥+ 𝑥+2 ,^ is a rational fraction. There are two types of fractions proper fraction and improper fraction.
Proper fraction : In the fraction ( )
Q x
P x , if the degree of the polynomial P(x) is smaller than
the degree of the polynomial Q(x) then the fraction is said to be proper fraction.
e.g (^) 𝑥 (^3) +5𝑥+6𝑥+2 is a proper fraction.
Improper fraction : In the fraction ( )
Q x
P x , if the degree of the polynomial P(x) is greater than
or equal to the degree of the polynomial Q(x) then the fraction is said to be improper fraction

x eg , 𝑥
(^2) + 𝑥^2 −1 are improper fractions. Improper fraction to Proper fraction: Any improper fraction can be expressed as sum of a polynomial and a proper fraction by division method.
i.e. Improper fraction = Quotient +
Remainder Divisor
= Q +
Partial Fraction: Every proper fraction
P(x) Q(x) can be expressed as sum or difference of^ simple
fractions. These simple fractions are called as partial fractions of
P(x) Q(x)
e.g.
(x + 2) (x + 1) =^
(x + 2) +^
(x + 1)
Here
(x + 2) ,^
(x + 1) is proper fraction of^
(x + 2) (x + 1)
Methods to find partial fractions:
Depending upon the nature of factors of the denominator there are three cases CASE I: When denominator contains non repeated linear factors: If the denominator contains non-repeated linear factor of the type (ax + b) then for each such
factor there is partial fraction of the type
(ax + b)
