\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}

10x+8=3(x-2) 10x+8=3x-6
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+8=3x-6

subtract 10x-3x

7x+8= -6

subtract -6-8

7x=-14

divide 7 into -14

x = -2

Hope this helps!
