Answer:

Option A, 9 seniors

Step-by-step explanation:

A school choir has 36 members.

It is given that there are three times as many underclassmen as seniors.

In other way we can say that there are $\frac{3}{4}$ underclassmen and

$\frac{1}{4}$ are seniors.

Seniors are $\frac{1}{4}$ × 36

= 9 seniors.

Option A, 9 seniors

There are 9 seniors.

Although there are several ways of solving this problem, I just did what was easiest for me in my head. I divided 36 by 4, which gave me 9.

Find the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression with prime quadratic factors in the denominator

SpyIntel [72]

$\dfrac{5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21}{(x-3)(x^2-2)^2}=\dfrac{a_1}{x-3}+\dfrac{a_2x+a_3}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{a_4x+a_5}{(x^2-2)^2}$
$\implies 5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=a_1(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(a_4x+a_5)(x-3)$

When $x=3$ , you're left with

$147=49a_1\implies a_1=\dfrac{147}{49}=3$

When $x=\sqrt2$ or $x=-\sqrt2$ , you're left with

$\begin{cases}17-8\sqrt2=(\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(\sqrt2-3)&\text{for }x=\sqrt2\\17+8\sqrt2=(-\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(-\sqrt2-3)\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}-5+\sqrt2=\sqrt2a_4+a_5\\-5-\sqrt2=-\sqrt2a_4+a_5\end{cases}$

Adding the two equations together gives $-10=2a_5$ , or $a_5=-5$ . Subtracting them gives $2\sqrt2=2\sqrt2a_4$ , $a_4=1$ .

Now, you have

$5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(x-5)(x-3)$
$5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3x^4-11x^2-8x+27+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)$
$2x^4-7x^3-x^2+14x-6=(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)$

By just examining the leading and lagging (first and last) terms that would be obtained by expanding the right side, and matching these with the terms on the left side, you would see that $a_2x^4=2x^4$ and $a_3(-3)(-2)=6a_3=-6$ . These alone tell you that you must have $a_2=2$ and $a_3=-1$ .

So the partial fraction decomposition is

$\dfrac3{x-3}+\dfrac{2x-1}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x^2-2)^2}$
