Decompose P/Q, Where Q Has Only Distinct Linear Factors
Write the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression. It is not necessary to solve for the
constants.
1) $\frac { 6 x - 4 } { ( x + 6 ) ( x + 2 ) }$
A) $\frac { A } { x + 6 } + \frac { B } { x + 2 }$
B) $\frac { A } { x + 6 } + \frac { B } { x + 2 } + \frac { C } { ( x + 6 ) ( x + 2 ) }$
C) $\frac { \mathrm { A } } { x + 6 } + \frac { \mathrm { B } } { \mathrm { x } + 2 } + \frac { \mathrm { Cx } + \mathrm { D } } { ( \mathrm { x } + 6 ) ( \mathrm { x } + 2 ) }$
D) $\frac { A } { x + 6 } + \frac { B } { x + 2 } + \frac { C } { ( x + 6 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 } }$
- $$\frac { 11 x - 19 } { ( x - 1 ) ( x - 2 ) }$$

• A) \(\frac { A } { x + 6 } + \frac { B } { x + 2 }\)
• B) \(\frac { A } { x + 6 } + \frac { B } { x + 2 } + \frac { C } { ( x + 6 ) ( x + 2 ) }\)
• C) \(\frac { \mathrm { A } } { x + 6 } + \frac { \mathrm { B } } { \mathrm { x } + 2 } + \frac { \mathrm { Cx } + \mathrm { D } } { ( \mathrm { x } + 6 ) ( \mathrm { x } + 2 ) }\)
• D) \(\frac { A } { x + 6 } + \frac { B } { x + 2 } + \frac { C } { ( x + 6 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 } }\)
• -\[\frac { 11 x - 19 } { ( x - 1 ) ( x - 2 ) }\]
• A) \(\frac { 8 } { x - 1 } + \frac { 3 } { x - 2 }\)
• B) \(\frac { 10 } { x - 1 } + \frac { 1 } { x - 2 }\)
• C) \(\frac { 7 } { x - 1 } + \frac { 4 } { x - 2 }\)
• D) \(\frac { 8 } { x - 1 } + \frac { - 3 } { x - 2 }\)
