Multiple Choice

Decompose P/Q, Where Q Has Repeated Linear Factors
Write the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression. It is not necessary to solve for the
constants.
- $$\frac { 6 x - 5 } { ( x - 1 ) ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 } }$$

• A) \(\frac { A } { x - 1 } + \frac { B } { x - 6 } + \frac { C } { ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 } }\)
• B) \(\frac { A } { x - 1 } + \frac { B } { x - 6 } + \frac { C } { x - 6 } + \frac { D x + E } { ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 } }\)
• C) \(\frac { \mathrm { A } } { \mathrm { x } - 1 } + \frac { \mathrm { B } } { \mathrm { x } - 6 } + \frac { \mathrm { Cx } + \mathrm { D } } { ( \mathrm { x } - 6 ) ^ { 2 } }\)
• D) \(\frac { A } { x - 1 } + \frac { B } { x - 6 } + \frac { C } { x - 6 } + \frac { D } { ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 } }\) Write the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression.
