Partial fraction

Partial fraction is the process of separating a term into its original form. A+b+c.    when looking at a problem, the first thing to do is to factor the denomenator.   After determining whether the factors are linear or nonlinear. If the term is linear, we put a variable A on top of a factor.  If it is not, we put ax+b.  After this, we multiply the greatest common denomenator to the whole thing.  And we factor out the x s and we set systems of equations to solve for A,B,C.  Finally, we write the answer out.    If the power of denomonator is less than the numerator, we have to do long division first.
