\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}

What is the difference between certain and impossible?.
kaheart [24]
Certain events have a 100% probability of occurring, and impossible events have a 0% chance of occurring.

Theoretical probability is based on a mathematical estimate, whereas experimental probability is a probability determined based off of an experiment.

Svetradugi [14.3K]
<span>The formula for the volume of a box is: Volume = L*W*H We know that the length is 10 cm. We know that the width is twice the height, so W = 2H. Then our volume equation is: Volume = 10*2H*H Volume = 20*H^2 Since H^2 is in the equation, this is a quadratic equation.</span>

If x+3/3 = y+2/2, then x/3 =​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

y/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3/3 = y + 2/2

x + 1 = y + 1

x = y + 1 - 1

x = y + 0

x = y

so; x/3 = y/3
