3x+3+2x−2\frac{3}{x+3} + \frac{2}{x-2}

Step-by-step solution

7 steps
  1. Use the Remainder Theorem for the first condition.

    The polynomial is f(x)=3−ax+bx2−x3f(x) = 3 - ax + bx^2 - x^3.
    When f(x)f(x) is divided by (x+2)(x+2), the remainder is 45. By the Remainder Theorem, f(−2)=45f(-2) = 45.
    Substitute x=−2x = -2 into f(x)f(x):

    f(−2)=3−a(−2)+b(−2)2−(−2)3f(-2) = 3 - a(-2) + b(-2)^2 - (-2)^3 45=3+2a+4b−(−8)45 = 3 + 2a + 4b - (-8) 45=3+2a+4b+845 = 3 + 2a + 4b + 8 45=11+2a+4b45 = 11 + 2a + 4b 34=2a+4b34 = 2a + 4b

    Divide the equation by 2:

    17=a+2b(∗)17 = a + 2b \quad (*)
  2. Use the Factor Theorem for the second condition.

    (3−x)(3-x) is a factor of f(x)f(x). By the Factor Theorem, if (3−x)(3-x) is a factor, then f(3)=0f(3) = 0.
    Substitute x=3x = 3 into f(x)f(x):

    f(3)=3−a(3)+b(3)2−(3)3f(3) = 3 - a(3) + b(3)^2 - (3)^3 0=3−3a+9b−270 = 3 - 3a + 9b - 27 0=−24−3a+9b0 = -24 - 3a + 9b

    Rearrange the equation:

    24=−3a+9b24 = -3a + 9b

    Divide the equation by 3:

    8=−a+3b(∗∗)8 = -a + 3b \quad (**)
  3. Solve the system of linear equations for aa and bb.

    We have two equations:

    1. a+2b=17a + 2b = 17
    2. −a+3b=8-a + 3b = 8

    Add equation (1) and equation (2):

    (a+2b)+(−a+3b)=17+8(a + 2b) + (-a + 3b) = 17 + 8 5b=255b = 25 b=255b = \frac{25}{5} b=5b = 5

    Substitute b=5b=5 into equation (1):

    a+2(5)=17a + 2(5) = 17 a+10=17a + 10 = 17 a=17−10a = 17 - 10 a=7a = 7

    The values of the real constants are a=7a=7 and b=5b=5.

    a=7,b=5\boxed{a=7, b=5}

    ii) Express 5x(x+3)(x−2)\frac{5x}{(x+3)(x-2)} into partial fractions.

  4. Set up the partial fraction decomposition.

    Since the denominator has two distinct linear factors, (x+3)(x+3) and (x−2)(x-2), we can write:

    5x(x+3)(x−2)=Ax+3+Bx−2\frac{5x}{(x+3)(x-2)} = \frac{A}{x+3} + \frac{B}{x-2}
  5. Clear the denominators.

    Multiply both sides by (x+3)(x−2)(x+3)(x-2):

    5x=A(x−2)+B(x+3)5x = A(x-2) + B(x+3)
  6. Solve for AA and BB using substitution.

    To find AA, set x=−3x = -3:

    5(−3)=A(−3−2)+B(−3+3)5(-3) = A(-3-2) + B(-3+3) −15=A(−5)+B(0)-15 = A(-5) + B(0) −15=−5A-15 = -5A A=−15−5A = \frac{-15}{-5} A=3A = 3

    To find BB, set x=2x = 2:

    5(2)=A(2−2)+B(2+3)5(2) = A(2-2) + B(2+3) 10=A(0)+B(5)10 = A(0) + B(5) 10=5B10 = 5B B=105B = \frac{10}{5} B=2B = 2
  7. Write the partial fraction decomposition.

    Substitute the values of AA and BB back into the decomposition:

    5x(x+3)(x−2)=3x+3+2x−2\frac{5x}{(x+3)(x-2)} = \frac{3}{x+3} + \frac{2}{x-2} 3x+3+2x−2\boxed{\frac{3}{x+3} + \frac{2}{x-2}}
