Partial Decomposition with distinct factors

PART ONE

PART TWO

PART THREE

PART FOUR

When completing these problems you must be distribute properly and when decomposing remember to factor out the denominator FULLY. You must then separate them and use letter variables instead.Your common demoninator must be made up of the factors you need and you multiply them to the top. Dont forget that every factor it doesnt have must be multiplied. Dont forget once you start crossing off like terms that the x's cancel out. rememeber to set them equal to the same original factor it corresponds too in the original. Finally if your rref doesnt match the original numbers then you made a mistake.
