Hi all,
apologize for my ignorance have a quick question:
when I decompose into partial fractions, if I have a single quadratic factor such as x^2, i have to account for factors x and x^2. im good with that.
when i solve for my partial fractions i would then have
a/x + b/x^2
perhaps im doing this wrong but with the x^2 being a quadratic factor, why does it not require a numerator of bx + c? or does it and i am confused? a quick proof would really make my monday.
thanks!
