Write the partial fraction decomposition of each rational expression. (3x +50)/(x -9)(x +2)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the form of the partial fraction decomposition for the given rational expression. Since the denominator is factored into two distinct linear factors, \((x - 9)\) and \((x + 2)\), the decomposition will be of the form: \(\frac{A}{x - 9} + \frac{B}{x + 2}\), where \(A\) and \(B\) are constants to be determined.
Write the equation by setting the original rational expression equal to the sum of the partial fractions: \(\frac{3x + 50}{(x - 9)(x + 2)} = \frac{A}{x - 9} + \frac{B}{x + 2}\).
Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator \((x - 9)(x + 2)\) to clear the denominators: \(3x + 50 = A(x + 2) + B(x - 9)\).
Expand the right side: \(3x + 50 = A x + 2A + B x - 9B\), then combine like terms: \(3x + 50 = (A + B) x + (2A - 9B)\).
Set up a system of equations by equating the coefficients of corresponding terms on both sides: For the \(x\) terms, \(3 = A + B\); for the constant terms, \(50 = 2A - 9B\). Solve this system to find the values of \(A\) and \(B\).
