question 127

Multiple Choice

Find the partial fraction decomposition. (Hint: Use the rational zero theorem to factor the denominator.)
- $$\frac { 5 x ^ { 2 } + 11 x + 8 } { x ^ { 3 } + 3 x ^ { 2 } + 3 x + 1 }$$

• A) \(\frac { 5 } { x + 1 } + \frac { 2 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 } }\)
• B) \(\frac { 2 } { x + 1 } + \frac { 5 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 } }\)
• C) \(\frac { 5 } { x + 1 } + \frac { 1 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } + \frac { 2 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 } }\)
• D) \(\frac { 2 } { x + 1 } + \frac { 5 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } + \frac { 1 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 } }\)
