Hi,
I have a couple of problems I'm trying to figure out:
1) 1/x^3-x^2 dx
Is this a partial fraction problem and if so am I doing it correctly?
I think I should break down the denominator into x^2(x-1) then I have A/x^2 + B/(x-1)
Then I get A= -3 and B = 1 so I figure it to be -3ln[x^2] + ln[x-1]?
I may be way off and if I am could you please point me in the right direction.
2) [5x^3 + x^2 - square root (x)] / 2x
I know this is another partial fractions problem but I have no idea what to do when I only have 2x in the denominator. Could you give me a way to start this problem so I can try to figure it out too?
Thanks for the help
