9.4 Partial fractions  (Page 5/7)

Can any quotient of polynomials be decomposed into at least two partial fractions? If so, explain why, and if not, give an example of such a fraction

Can you explain why a partial fraction decomposition is unique? (Hint: Think about it as a system of equations.)

Can you explain how to verify a partial fraction decomposition graphically?

You are unsure if you correctly decomposed the partial fraction correctly. Explain how you could double-check your answer.

Once you have a system of equations generated by the partial fraction decomposition, can you explain another method to solve it? For example if you had $\frac{7x+13}{3x^2+8x+15}=\frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{B}{3x+5},$ we eventually simplify to $7x+13=A(3x+5)+B(x+1).$ Explain how you could intelligently choose an $x$ -value that will eliminate either $A$ or $B$ and solve for $A$ and $B.$
