Partial fractions

Hi,

Today I will be talking about Partial Fractions. Partial fractions are the individual parts that create a fraction. In an example problem, we are asked to first identify whether the degree of the top is greater than the denominator. If it is greater, then we must use long division and take the partial fraction of the remainder. IF it is lesser than the denominator, we can skip this step and go to step 2. Step 2 is factoring the denominator. Once factored (if possible), we can add constants to the numerators of the factored parts. By solving for the constants, we can solve the Partial Fractions. Opposite to the saying "easier said than done", Partial Fractions are much easier to work out than I am explaining.
