Question

What is the of A in a partial fraction decomposition below?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x + 28) / ((x − 1) (x + 2) (x + 3)) = A / (x − 1) + B / (x + 2) + C / (x + 3)

Multiply both sides by (x − 1) (x + 2) (x + 3).

8x + 28 = A (x + 2) (x + 3) + B (x − 1) (x + 3) + C (x − 1) (x + 2)

If x = 1:

8 + 28 = A (3) (4)

36 = 12A

A = 3
