SP #5: Unit J Concept 6 - Partial fraction decomposition with repeated factors



     The viewer needs to pay special attention that when there are common factors, each of the repeated factor will have a power one more than the one before. One must count up the factors and include the factor as many times as the exponent. The viewers need to pay attention to their work and make sure to not make an error throughout the process. There are many places where errors could be made, especially when distributing/multiplying factors. And finally, the viewer needs to be aware that there are (4) systems, therefore there are four variables. Process of elimination is used to solve for a variable, followed by substitution to solve for the others.
