Write the partial fraction decomposition of each rational expression. x+4/x² (x²+4)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the given rational expression: \(\frac{x+4}{x^{2}(x^{2}+4)}\).
Recognize the factors in the denominator: \(x^{2}\) is a repeated linear factor (since \(x\) is linear, repeated twice), and \(x^{2}+4\) is an irreducible quadratic factor.
Set up the partial fraction decomposition form. For the repeated linear factor \(x^{2}\), include terms with denominators \(x\) and \(x^{2}\), and for the irreducible quadratic \(x^{2}+4\), include a term with a linear numerator:
\[\frac{x+4}{x^{2}(x^{2}+4)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x^{2}} + \frac{Cx + D}{x^{2} + 4}.\]
Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator \(x^{2}(x^{2}+4)\) to clear the denominators:
\[x + 4 = A \cdot x (x^{2} + 4) + B (x^{2} + 4) + (Cx + D) x^{2}.\]
Expand the right side and then collect like terms by powers of \(x\). This will allow you to equate coefficients of corresponding powers of \(x\) on both sides to form a system of equations to solve for \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\).
