Partial Fractions provides a way to integrate all rational functions.

Rational functions= when P and Q are polynomials

This is the technique to find

Rule 1: The degree of the numerator must be less than the degree of the denominator. If
this is not the case we first must divide the numerator into the denominator.

Step 1: If Q has a quadratic factor ax2 + bx + c which corresponds to a complex root of


order k, then the partial fraction expansion of contains a term of the form

Where B1, B2, … Bk and C1 , C2 , …,Ck are unknown constants.

Step 2: Set the sum of the terms of equal to the partial fraction expansion

Example:

Step 3: When then multiply both sides by Q to get some expression that is equal to P

Example: 1= A(x-5) + B(x-2)


1= (A+B)x-5A-2B
Step 4: Use the theory that 2 polynomials are equal if and only if the corresponding
coefficients are equal

Example: 5A-2B=1 and A+B=0

Step 5: Solve for A, B, and C

Example: A= -1/3 B= 1/3


Step 6: Express integral of as the sum of the integrals of the terms of partial fraction
expansion.
Example:

Example 2:

Find

Note: long division

Note: Factor Q(x)= x3 – x2 – x +1

Note: Partial fraction decomposition since (x-1)2’s factor is


linear. There is a constant on top for the and power and first power

4x= A(x-1)(x+1) + B(x+1) + C(x-1) 2


Note: multiply by Least common denominator
(x-1) 2 (x+1)
= (A+C)x 2 +(B-2C)x+(-A+B+C)

A+C = 0
B-2C= 4
-A+B+C= 0 Note: Equate equations

A=1 B=2 C=-1 Note: Solve for coefficients

Example 3:

Find
Note: x2+4 is quadratic

2x2-x + 4 = A(x2+4)+ (Bx+C)x Note: multiplying x(x2+4)


= (A+B) x2+Cx+4A

A+B=2 C=-1 4A=4 Note: Equating coefficients

A=1 B=1 C=-1

This is a method to evaluate integrals that cannot be evaluated by eye or by u-


substitution. It is usually applied to expressions with varied functions within each other,
or multiplied by each other. A good rule is: if the expression has a chain of functions
(f(g(x)) or if the expression has a product of functions x(f(x)), integration by parts will be
necessary. Here are some examples of problems that would be solved with integration by
parts:

Let’s start with:

In integration by parts, you separate the expression into two parts: u, and .
The u should be easy to differentiate, and the should be easy to integrate.
Once you have chosen a u and a , set up a chart like this:

u = ln(x) =

= v =

Now, the formula to solve this is:

so here, the equation to solve is:

which simplifies to:

and solve the integral to get:

Unfortunately, it is not always so simple. Sometimes, you must use u-substitution, or


even integration by parts again within the solution. Take, for example:
To solve this, you would set up a chart again.

u= =
= v =

With this chart, you can set up the solution using the formula:

But the second part of this, cannot be solved by eye. You must set up a
second chart:

u= =
=2 v =
This gives us:

Which can be simplified to:

Now, you can substitute it into the original solution, in the place of ,
giving you:

Which is your final solution.

Try this one:

u= =

= v =
