\(\frac{{4x}^{2}+3}{{x}^{3}+{x}^{2}+x}\)

That is the original problem. I've gotten this far with it.

\(\frac{{4x}^{2}+3}{x({x}^{2}+x+1)}\)=\(\frac{A}{x}+\frac{Bx+C}{{x}^{2}+x+1}\)

and

\((A)({x}^{2}+x+1)+(Bx+C)(x)=4{x}^{2}+3\)

And since its true for all x values, I can plug in x=0 and then I know that

A=3 .

But I don't know how to find B and C.

Does anyone know how to do this? I watched 3 Khan academy videos on it and I looked at the examples in my book and I'm pretty stuck. :(

A ( x^2 + x + 1) + (Bx + C) x   = 4x^2 + 3

 

Ax^2 + Ax + A  + Bx^2 + Cx  = 4x^2 + 3

 

(A + B)x^2 + ( A + C)x + A  =  4x^2 + 0x +  3       equate coefficients

 

 

A + B = 4

 

A + C  = 0

 

A  = 3     →    C  = - 3  →  B  = 1

 

Proof 

 

3 / x   + [1x -  3] / [ x ^2 + x + 1] =

 

[3 (x^2 + x + 1)  + x (1x - 3) ] / [ x ( x^2 + x + 1 ]  =

 

[ 3x^2 + 3x + 3 + 1x^2 - 3x ]  / [ x^3 + x^2 + x]  =

 

[4x^2 + 3] / [x^3 + x^2 + x]

 

 

 

cool cool cool
