What is partial fraction?

Partial fractions is a technique used in algebra to decompose a rational function into simpler fractions.

How do you solve partial fractions?

To solve partial fractions, you first factor the denominator of the rational function into linear or quadratic factors. Then, you express the original function as a sum of simpler fractions with denominators equal to these factors, and unknown numerators which can be determined by comparing coefficients.

What are the 4 types of partial fractions?

The 4 types of partial fractions are Linear factors with distinct roots, Linear factors with repeated roots, Quadratic factors with distinct roots and Quadratic factors with repeated roots

What is a Linear partial fraction?

A linear partial fraction is a partial fraction in which the denominator factors into linear factors. In other words, the denominator of the rational function is a product of expressions of the form (ax + b), where a and b are constants.

What is a Quadratic partial fraction?

A quadratic partial fraction is a partial fraction in which the denominator factors into quadratic factors. In other words, the denominator of the rational function is a product of expressions of the form (ax^2+bx + c), where a, b and c are constants.

What is a Repeated linear partial fraction?

A repeated linear partial fraction is a partial fraction in which the denominator has repeated linear factors. In other words, the denominator of the rational function is a product of expressions of the form (ax + b)^n, where a and b are constants, and n is a positive integer greater than 1.

What is a General partial fraction?

A general partial fraction is a partial fraction that includes all possible types of factors in the denominator of a rational function, including linear factors with distinct roots, linear factors with repeated roots, quadratic factors with distinct roots, and quadratic factors with repeated roots.
