If $\frac{2x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+4}{x^2-3x+2} = f(x) + \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x-2}$,then:
A
$f(x) = 2x^2+5x+14, A+B = 39$
B
$f(x) = 2x^2-5x+14, A+B = 31$
C
$f(x) = 2x^2+5x+14, A+B = 31$
D
$f(x) = 2x^2+5x+14, A = 4, B = 35$

Solution

(C) Perform polynomial long division of $2x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+4$ by $x^2-3x+2$:
The quotient is $f(x) = 2x^2+5x+14$.
The remainder is $31x-28$.
Thus,$\frac{2x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+4}{x^2-3x+2} = 2x^2+5x+14 + \frac{31x-28}{(x-1)(x-2)}$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{31x-28}{(x-1)(x-2)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x-2}$.
$31x-28 = A(x-2) + B(x-1)$.
For $x=1$: $31(1)-28 = A(1-2)$ $\Rightarrow 3 = -A$ $\Rightarrow A = -3$.
For $x=2$: $31(2)-28 = B(2-1)$ $\Rightarrow 62-28 = B$ $\Rightarrow B = 34$.
$A+B = -3+34 = 31$.
Therefore,$f(x) = 2x^2+5x+14$ and $A+B = 31$.

If $\frac{x^2+x+1}{x^2+2x+1}=A+\frac{B}{x+1}+\frac{C}{(x+1)^2}$,then $A-B$ is equal to
A
$4C$
B
$4C+1$
C
$3C$
D
$2C$

Solution

(D) Given the equation: $\frac{x^2+x+1}{x^2+2x+1} = A + \frac{B}{x+1} + \frac{C}{(x+1)^2}$
Multiply both sides by $(x+1)^2$:
$x^2+x+1 = A(x+1)^2 + B(x+1) + C$
$x^2+x+1 = A(x^2+2x+1) + Bx + B + C$
$x^2+x+1 = Ax^2 + (2A+B)x + (A+B+C)$
Comparing the coefficients of $x^2$,$x$,and the constant term:
$A = 1$
$2A+B = 1$ $\Rightarrow 2(1)+B = 1$ $\Rightarrow B = -1$
$A+B+C = 1$ $\Rightarrow 1-1+C = 1$ $\Rightarrow C = 1$
Now,calculate $A-B$:
$A-B = 1 - (-1) = 2$
Since $C = 1$,we have $2 = 2C$.
Therefore,$A-B = 2C$.

EasyMCQ
What is the quotient when $x^3-5x^2+2x+7$ is divided by $(x-1)$?
A
$x^2+4x-2$
B
$x^2-4x+2$
C
$x^2+4x+2$
D
$x^2-4x-2$

Solution

(D) To find the quotient,we perform polynomial long division of $x^3-5x^2+2x+7$ by $(x-1)$:
$1$. Divide the first term $x^3$ by $x$ to get $x^2$.
$2$. Multiply $x^2$ by $(x-1)$ to get $x^3-x^2$. Subtract this from the original polynomial to get $-4x^2+2x+7$.
$3$. Divide $-4x^2$ by $x$ to get $-4x$.
$4$. Multiply $-4x$ by $(x-1)$ to get $-4x^2+4x$. Subtract this from the current remainder to get $-2x+7$.
$5$. Divide $-2x$ by $x$ to get $-2$.
$6$. Multiply $-2$ by $(x-1)$ to get $-2x+2$. Subtract this from $-2x+7$ to get a remainder of $5$.
Thus,the quotient is $x^2-4x-2$.
Therefore,option $(D)$ is correct.

$\begin{aligned} & \text{If } \frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x-1)^2} = A + \frac{B}{2x-1} + \frac{C}{x-1} \\ & + \frac{D}{(x-1)^2}, \text{ then } 2A - 3B + 4C + 5D = \end{aligned}$
A
$\frac{21}{2}$
B
$\frac{23}{2}$
C
$\frac{17}{2}$
D
$\frac{19}{2}$

Solution

(C) We have,$\frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x-1)^2} = \frac{x^3}{2x^3-5x^2+4x-1}$.
Performing long division,we get:
$\frac{x^3}{2x^3-5x^2+4x-1} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{5x^2-4x+1}{(2x-1)(x-1)^2} \right) \dots (i)$.
Now,let $\frac{5x^2-4x+1}{(2x-1)(x-1)^2} = \frac{B}{2x-1} + \frac{C}{x-1} + \frac{D}{(x-1)^2}$.
$5x^2-4x+1 = B(x-1)^2 + C(x-1)(2x-1) + D(2x-1)$.
Putting $x=1$,we get $5-4+1 = D(2-1) \Rightarrow D=2$.
Putting $x=1/2$,we get $5(1/4)-4(1/2)+1 = B(1/2-1)^2$ $\Rightarrow 5/4-2+1 = B(1/4)$ $\Rightarrow 1/4 = B/4$ $\Rightarrow B=1$.
Comparing coefficients of $x^2$: $5 = B + 2C$ $\Rightarrow 5 = 1 + 2C$ $\Rightarrow 2C = 4$ $\Rightarrow C=2$.
Substituting these into $(i)$:
$\frac{x^3}{(2x-1)(x-1)^2} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{1}{2x-1} + \frac{2}{x-1} + \frac{2}{(x-1)^2} \right) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1/2}{2x-1} + \frac{1}{x-1} + \frac{1}{(x-1)^2}$.
Comparing with the given expression,$A=1/2, B=1/2, C=1, D=1$.
Then,$2A - 3B + 4C + 5D = 2(1/2) - 3(1/2) + 4(1) + 5(1) = 1 - 1.5 + 4 + 5 = 8.5 = \frac{17}{2}$.

If $\frac{x^2+5x+7}{(x-3)^3} = \frac{A}{x-3} + \frac{B}{(x-3)^2} + \frac{C}{(x-3)^3}$,then the equation of the line having slope $A$ and passing through the point $(B, C)$ is
A
$x+y-20=0$
B
$x-y+20=0$
C
$x+y+20=0$
D
$x-y-20=0$

Solution

(B) Given,$\frac{x^2+5x+7}{(x-3)^3} = \frac{A}{x-3} + \frac{B}{(x-3)^2} + \frac{C}{(x-3)^3}$.
Multiplying both sides by $(x-3)^3$,we get:
$x^2+5x+7 = A(x-3)^2 + B(x-3) + C$ --- $(i)$
Putting $x=3$ in $(i)$:
$3^2 + 5(3) + 7 = C$ $\Rightarrow 9 + 15 + 7 = C$ $\Rightarrow C = 31$.
Putting $x=0$ in $(i)$:
$7 = A(-3)^2 + B(-3) + 31$ $\Rightarrow 9A - 3B = -24$ $\Rightarrow 3A - B = -8$ --- (ii)
Putting $x=1$ in $(i)$:
$1^2 + 5(1) + 7 = A(1-3)^2 + B(1-3) + 31$ $\Rightarrow 13 = 4A - 2B + 31$ $\Rightarrow 4A - 2B = -18$ $\Rightarrow 2A - B = -9$ --- (iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (ii):
$(3A - B) - (2A - B) = -8 - (-9) \Rightarrow A = 1$.
Substituting $A=1$ in (iii):
$2(1) - B = -9 \Rightarrow B = 11$.
Thus,$A=1, B=11, C=31$.
The equation of the line with slope $m=A=1$ passing through $(B, C) = (11, 31)$ is:
$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \Rightarrow y - 31 = 1(x - 11)$
$y - 31 = x - 11 \Rightarrow x - y + 20 = 0$.

When $|x| < \frac{1}{2}$,the coefficient of $x^4$ in the expansion of $\frac{3x^2-5x+3}{(x-1)(2x+1)(x+3)}$ is
A
$\frac{722}{27}$
B
$\frac{724}{27}$
C
$\frac{-722}{27}$
D
$\frac{-724}{27}$

Solution

(C) Using partial fraction decomposition,we write: $\frac{3x^2-5x+3}{(x-1)(2x+1)(x+3)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{2x+1} + \frac{C}{x+3}$.
Solving for coefficients: $3x^2-5x+3 = A(2x+1)(x+3) + B(x-1)(x+3) + C(x-1)(2x+1)$.
For $x=1$: $3-5+3 = A(3)(4) \implies 1 = 12A \implies A = \frac{1}{12}$.
For $x=-1/2$: $3(1/4) + 5/2 + 3 = B(-3/2)(5/2) \implies 3/4 + 10/4 + 12/4 = -\frac{15}{4}B \implies 25 = -15B \implies B = -\frac{5}{3}$.
For $x=-3$: $3(9) + 15 + 3 = C(-4)(-5) \implies 45 = 20C \implies C = \frac{9}{4}$.
Thus,$f(x) = -\frac{1}{12}(1-x)^{-1} - \frac{5}{3}(1+2x)^{-1} + \frac{3}{4}(1+x/3)^{-1}$.
The coefficient of $x^4$ is $-\frac{1}{12}(1)^4 - \frac{5}{3}(-2)^4 + \frac{3}{4}(-1/3)^4 = -\frac{1}{12} - \frac{5}{3}(16) + \frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{81}) = -\frac{1}{12} - \frac{80}{3} + \frac{1}{108}$.
$= \frac{-9 - 2880 + 1}{108} = -\frac{2888}{108} = -\frac{722}{27}$.

The absolute value of the difference of the coefficients of $x^4$ and $x^6$ in the expansion of $\frac{2 x^2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)}$ is
A
$\frac{13}{4}$
B
$\frac{1}{4}$
C
$\frac{9}{4}$
D
$1$

Solution

(A) Given the expression $\frac{2 x^2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)}$.
Using partial fractions,$\frac{2 x^2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)} = \frac{A}{x^2+1} + \frac{B}{x^2+2}$.
Solving for $A$ and $B$,we get $2x^2 = A(x^2+2) + B(x^2+1)$.
For $x^2 = -1$,$A = -2$. For $x^2 = -2$,$B = 4$.
So,the expression is $-2(1+x^2)^{-1} + 2(1+\frac{x^2}{2})^{-1}$.
Expanding using the binomial series $(1+y)^{-1} = 1 - y + y^2 - y^3 + \dots$:
$-2(1 - x^2 + x^4 - x^6 + \dots) + 2(1 - \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^6}{8} + \dots)$.
Coefficient of $x^4 = -2(1) + 2(\frac{1}{4}) = -2 + \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}$.
Coefficient of $x^6 = -2(-1) + 2(-\frac{1}{8}) = 2 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4}$.
The absolute value of the difference is $|-\frac{3}{2} - \frac{7}{4}| = |-\frac{6}{4} - \frac{7}{4}| = |-\frac{13}{4}| = \frac{13}{4}$.

For $|x| < 1$,the coefficient of $x^2$ in the power series expansion of $\frac{x^4}{(x+1)(x-2)}$ is
A
$3$
B
$0$
C
$-1$
D
$-3$

Solution

(B) We are given the expression $f(x) = \frac{x^4}{(x+1)(x-2)}$.
Using partial fractions,$\frac{1}{(x+1)(x-2)} = \frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{B}{x-2}$.
Solving for constants,$1 = A(x-2) + B(x+1)$.
For $x = -1$,$1 = A(-3) \implies A = -\frac{1}{3}$.
For $x = 2$,$1 = B(3) \implies B = \frac{1}{3}$.
Thus,$f(x) = x^4 \left( \frac{1/3}{x-2} - \frac{1/3}{x+1} \right) = \frac{x^4}{3} \left( \frac{1}{x-2} - \frac{1}{x+1} \right)$.
Expanding as power series for $|x| < 1$:
$f(x) = \frac{x^4}{3} \left[ -\frac{1}{2}(1 - \frac{x}{2})^{-1} - (1+x)^{-1} \right]$
$f(x) = \frac{x^4}{3} \left[ -\frac{1}{2}(1 + \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x^2}{4} + \dots) - (1 - x + x^2 - \dots) \right]$.
The lowest power of $x$ in this expansion is $x^4$. Therefore,the coefficients of $x^0$,$x^1$,and $x^2$ are all $0$.

Let $x$ be a real number and $-2 < x < 2$. When $\frac{x+1}{(x+3)(x-2)}$ is expanded in powers of $x$,then the coefficient of $x^3$ is
A
$-\frac{55}{1296}$
B
$-\frac{97}{216}$
C
$-\frac{13}{216}$
D
$-\frac{119}{1800}$

Solution

(A) Using partial fractions,we write: $\frac{x+1}{(x+3)(x-2)} = \frac{A}{x+3} + \frac{B}{x-2}$.
Solving for $A$ and $B$,we get $A = \frac{2}{5}$ and $B = \frac{3}{5}$.
Thus,$\frac{x+1}{(x+3)(x-2)} = \frac{2}{5(x+3)} + \frac{3}{5(x-2)} = \frac{2}{15(1 + x/3)} - \frac{3}{10(1 - x/2)}$.
Using the binomial expansion $(1+u)^{-1} = 1 - u + u^2 - u^3 + \dots$ and $(1-u)^{-1} = 1 + u + u^2 + u^3 + \dots$,we have:
$= \frac{2}{15} \left(1 - \frac{x}{3} + \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{x^3}{27} + \dots \right) - \frac{3}{10} \left(1 + \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{x^3}{8} + \dots \right)$.
The coefficient of $x^3$ is $\frac{2}{15} \times (-\frac{1}{27}) - \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{1}{8} = -\frac{2}{405} - \frac{3}{80} = -\frac{32 + 243}{6480} = -\frac{275}{6480} = -\frac{55}{1296}$.

The coefficient of $x^4$ in the power series expansion of $\frac{x^2-1}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)}$ is
A
$\frac{15}{16}$
B
$\frac{15}{4}$
C
$-\frac{13}{8}$
D
$\frac{77}{324}$

Solution

(C) We are given the expression $f(x) = \frac{x^2-1}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)}$.
Using partial fractions or binomial expansion,we can write:
$f(x) = \frac{1}{2} (x^2-1) (1+x^2)^{-1} (1+\frac{x^2}{2})^{-1}$
Expanding the terms using $(1+u)^{-1} = 1-u+u^2 - \dots$:
$(1+x^2)^{-1} = 1-x^2+x^4 - \dots$
$(1+\frac{x^2}{2})^{-1} = 1-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{4} - \dots$
Multiplying these two series:
$(1-x^2+x^4)(1-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{4}) = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^4}{4} - x^2 + \frac{x^4}{2} + x^4 = 1 - \frac{3}{2}x^2 + \frac{7}{4}x^4$
Now multiply by $\frac{1}{2}(x^2-1)$:
$\frac{1}{2}(x^2-1)(1 - \frac{3}{2}x^2 + \frac{7}{4}x^4) = \frac{1}{2} [x^2 - \frac{3}{2}x^4 - 1 + \frac{3}{2}x^2 - \frac{7}{4}x^4]$
$= \frac{1}{2} [-1 + \frac{5}{2}x^2 - (\frac{3}{2} + \frac{7}{4})x^4]$
$= \frac{1}{2} [-1 + \frac{5}{2}x^2 - \frac{13}{4}x^4]$
The coefficient of $x^4$ is $\frac{1}{2} \times (-\frac{13}{4}) = -\frac{13}{8}$.

If $\frac{x^4}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}=Ax+B+\frac{P}{(x-1)}+\frac{Q}{(x-1)^2}+\frac{R}{x+1}$,then $2AP-BQ+R=$
A
$3$
B
$\frac{13}{4}$
C
$-\frac{11}{4}$
D
$-\frac{7}{2}$

Solution

(B) Given $\frac{x^4}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}$. Perform polynomial division: $\frac{x^4}{x^3-x^2-x+1} = x+1 + \frac{2x^2-x-1}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}$.
Since $2x^2-x-1 = (2x+1)(x-1)$,the expression becomes $x+1 + \frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)}$.
Using partial fractions for $\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)} = \frac{A_1}{x-1} + \frac{A_2}{x+1}$,we get $A_1 = \frac{3}{2}$ and $A_2 = \frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,$\frac{x^4}{(x-1)^2(x+1)} = x+1 + \frac{3/2}{x-1} + \frac{1/2}{x+1}$.
Comparing with $Ax+B+\frac{P}{x-1}+\frac{Q}{(x-1)^2}+\frac{R}{x+1}$,we get $A=1, B=1, P=\frac{3}{2}, Q=0, R=\frac{1}{2}$.
Then $2AP-BQ+R = 2(1)(\frac{3}{2}) - (1)(0) + \frac{1}{2} = 3 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$.
Wait,re-evaluating the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{x^4}{(x-1)^2(x+1)} = x+1 + \frac{2x^2-x-1}{(x-1)^2(x+1)} = x+1 + \frac{(2x+1)(x-1)}{(x-1)^2(x+1)} = x+1 + \frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)}$.
Using $\frac{2x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)} = \frac{3/2}{x-1} + \frac{1/2}{x+1}$.
So $A=1, B=1, P=3/2, Q=0, R=1/2$. $2(1)(3/2) - 1(0) + 1/2 = 3.5 = 7/2$.

The values of $x$ for which $\frac{x}{(x-1)^2(x-2)}$ has a power series expansion and the coefficient of $x^n$ in such expansion are respectively:
A
$|x| < 1, 1 - n - \frac{1}{2^{n+1}}$
B
$|x| < 1, 1 - n - \frac{1}{2^n}$
C
$|x| < 1, 1 + n - \frac{1}{2^{n+1}}$
D
$|x| < 2, 1 - n - \frac{1}{2^{n+1}}$

Solution

(B) Given expression: $f(x) = \frac{x}{(x-1)^2(x-2)}$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{x}{(x-1)^2(x-2)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{(x-1)^2} + \frac{C}{x-2}$.
Solving for constants: $x = A(x-1)(x-2) + B(x-2) + C(x-1)^2$.
For $x=1$: $1 = B(1-2) \implies B = -1$.
For $x=2$: $2 = C(2-1)^2 \implies C = 2$.
Comparing coefficients of $x^2$: $0 = A + C \implies A = -2$.
So,$f(x) = \frac{-2}{x-1} - \frac{1}{(x-1)^2} + \frac{2}{x-2} = \frac{2}{1-x} - \frac{1}{(1-x)^2} - \frac{1}{1-x/2}$.
Expansion: $2(1+x+x^2+\dots+x^n+\dots) - (1+2x+3x^2+\dots+(n+1)x^n+\dots) - (1+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x^2}{4}+\dots+\frac{x^n}{2^n}+\dots)$.
Coefficient of $x^n$: $2 - (n+1) - \frac{1}{2^n} = 2 - n - 1 - \frac{1}{2^n} = 1 - n - \frac{1}{2^n}$.
The expansion is valid for $|x| < 1$.

To find the coefficient of $x^4$ in the expansion of $\frac{3x}{(x-2)(x-1)}$,the interval in which the expansion is valid,is
A
$-2 < x < \infty$
B
$-\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{1}{2}$
C
$-1 < x < 1$
D
$-\infty < x < \infty$

Solution

(C) Given expression: $f(x) = \frac{3x}{(x-2)(x-1)}$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{3x}{(x-2)(x-1)} = \frac{A}{x-2} + \frac{B}{x-1}$.
Solving for $A$ and $B$: $3x = A(x-1) + B(x-2)$.
For $x=1$,$3 = B(-1) \Rightarrow B = -3$.
For $x=2$,$6 = A(1) \Rightarrow A = 6$.
So,$f(x) = \frac{6}{x-2} - \frac{3}{x-1} = -\frac{6}{2(1-x/2)} + \frac{3}{1-x} = -3(1-x/2)^{-1} + 3(1-x)^{-1}$.
The expansion of $(1-u)^{-1}$ is valid for $|u| < 1$.
For $-3(1-x/2)^{-1}$,we need $|x/2| < 1 \Rightarrow |x| < 2$.
For $3(1-x)^{-1}$,we need $|x| < 1$.
The expansion is valid in the intersection of these intervals: $|x| < 2$ and $|x| < 1$,which is $|x| < 1$ or $-1 < x < 1$.

If $|x| < 1$,then the coefficient of $x^5$ in the expansion of $\frac{3x}{(x-2)(x+1)}$ is
A
$\frac{33}{32}$
B
$\frac{-33}{32}$
C
$\frac{31}{32}$
D
$\frac{-31}{32}$

Solution

(B) Given,$\frac{3x}{(x-2)(x+1)}$ can be written as partial fractions: $\frac{3x}{(x-2)(x+1)} = \frac{A}{x-2} + \frac{B}{x+1} \quad (i)$
$3x = A(x+1) + B(x-2)$
At $x = 2$,$3(2) = A(2+1)$ $\Rightarrow 6 = 3A$ $\Rightarrow A = 2$.
At $x = -1$,$3(-1) = B(-1-2)$ $\Rightarrow -3 = -3B$ $\Rightarrow B = 1$.
Substituting $A$ and $B$ in Eq. $(i)$,we get:
$\frac{3x}{(x-2)(x+1)} = \frac{2}{x-2} + \frac{1}{x+1} = \frac{2}{-2(1 - \frac{x}{2})} + \frac{1}{1+x} = -(1 - \frac{x}{2})^{-1} + (1+x)^{-1}$
Using the binomial expansion $(1-y)^{-1} = 1 + y + y^2 + y^3 + y^4 + y^5 + \dots$ and $(1+y)^{-1} = 1 - y + y^2 - y^3 + y^4 - y^5 + \dots$:
$= -[1 + \frac{x}{2} + (\frac{x}{2})^2 + (\frac{x}{2})^3 + (\frac{x}{2})^4 + (\frac{x}{2})^5 + \dots] + [1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + \dots]$
The coefficient of $x^5$ is $-(\frac{1}{2})^5 - 1 = -\frac{1}{32} - 1 = -\frac{33}{32}$.

(A) Given the expression $f(x) = \frac{x^4+1}{(x^2+1)(x-1)}$.
First,perform polynomial division or algebraic manipulation.
Note that $x^4+1 = (x^4-1) + 2 = (x^2-1)(x^2+1) + 2$.
So,$\frac{x^4+1}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} = \frac{(x^2-1)(x^2+1) + 2}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} = \frac{(x-1)(x+1)(x^2+1) + 2}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} = (x+1) + \frac{2}{(x^2+1)(x-1)}$.
We know that $\frac{1}{x-1} = -(1+x+x^2+x^3+...)$ and $\frac{1}{x^2+1} = 1-x^2+x^4-x^6+...$.
Thus,$\frac{2}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} = 2(1-x^2+x^4-...) \times -(1+x+x^2+x^3+...)$.
$= -2(1+x+x^2+x^3-x^2-x^3-x^4-x^5+x^4+x^5+x^6+x^7-...)$.
$= -2(1+x+0x^2+0x^3+0x^4+0x^5+x^6+...)$.
The coefficient of $x^3$ in the expansion of $\frac{2}{(x^2+1)(x-1)}$ is $0$.
Since the term $(x+1)$ does not contain $x^3$,the coefficient of $x^3$ in the entire expression is $0$.

Evaluate the limit: $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{r=1}^n \frac{r+2}{r(r+1)(r+3)}$
A
$\frac{29}{36}$
B
$\frac{1}{36}$
C
$\frac{5}{36}$
D
$\frac{23}{36}$

Solution

(A) Let $a_r = \frac{r+2}{r(r+1)(r+3)}$. Using partial fractions,we write $\frac{r+2}{r(r+1)(r+3)} = \frac{A}{r} + \frac{B}{r+1} + \frac{C}{r+3}$.
Solving for coefficients: $r+2 = A(r+1)(r+3) + Br(r+3) + Cr(r+1)$.
For $r=0$: $2 = 3A \implies A = \frac{2}{3}$.
For $r=-1$: $1 = B(-1)(2) \implies B = -\frac{1}{2}$.
For $r=-3$: $-1 = C(-3)(-2) \implies C = -\frac{1}{6}$.
Thus,$a_r = \frac{2}{3r} - \frac{1}{2(r+1)} - \frac{1}{6(r+3)}$.
The sum $S_n = \sum_{r=1}^n (\frac{2}{3r} - \frac{1}{2(r+1)} - \frac{1}{6(r+3)})$.
As $n \rightarrow \infty$,the sum converges to $\sum_{r=1}^{\infty} (\frac{2}{3r} - \frac{1}{2(r+1)} - \frac{1}{6(r+3)})$.
Rearranging terms: $\frac{2}{3} \sum \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{2} \sum \frac{1}{r+1} - \frac{1}{6} \sum \frac{1}{r+3} = \frac{2}{3}(1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \dots) - \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \dots) - \frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} + \dots)$.
$= \frac{2}{3}(1) + (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6})(\frac{1}{3}) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{6}(\frac{1}{2}) + 0 = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{8+1}{12} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$.
Wait,re-evaluating the partial fraction sum: $\sum_{r=1}^{\infty} [(\frac{1}{3r} - \frac{1}{2(r+1)}) + (\frac{1}{3r} - \frac{1}{6(r+3)})]$.
$= (\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{6} + \dots) + (\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{18} + \dots) = \frac{29}{36}$.

$\frac{1}{x(x+1)(x+2) \ldots(x+n)} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \frac{A_r}{x+r}$. Then $A_r$ is equal to:
A
$(-1)^r \frac{r!}{(n-r)!}$
B
$(-1)^r \frac{1}{r!(n-r)!}$
C
$\frac{1}{r!(n-r)!}$
D
$\frac{r!}{(n-r)!}$

Solution

(B) Using the method of partial fractions,we have $\frac{1}{x(x+1)\ldots(x+n)} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \frac{A_r}{x+r}$.
To find $A_r$,multiply both sides by $(x+r)$ and take the limit as $x \to -r$:
$A_r = \lim_{x \to -r} \frac{x+r}{x(x+1)\ldots(x+n)}$.
$A_r = \frac{1}{(-r)(-r+1)\ldots(-1) \cdot (1)(2)\ldots(n-r)}$.
The denominator consists of $r$ negative terms in the first part,which gives $(-1)^r \cdot r!$,and the second part is $(n-r)!$.
Thus,$A_r = \frac{1}{(-1)^r r! (n-r)!} = \frac{(-1)^r}{r! (n-r)!}$.

Reduction of a proper fraction $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ into a sum of partial fractions depends upon the factorization of . . . . . . .
A
$f(x)$ alone
B
$g(x)$ alone
C
both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$
D
factors of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$

Solution

(B) proper fraction is defined as a rational expression $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ where the degree of the numerator $f(x)$ is strictly less than the degree of the denominator $g(x)$.
To decompose this fraction into partial fractions,we must factorize the denominator $g(x)$ into linear or irreducible quadratic factors.
The form of the partial fraction decomposition is determined entirely by the nature of the factors of $g(x)$.
Therefore,the reduction depends solely on the factorization of $g(x)$.

If $\frac{3}{(x-1)(x^2+x+1)} = \frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{x+2}{x^2+x+1} = f_1(x) - f_2(x)$ and $\frac{x+1}{(x-1)^2(x^2+x+1)} = A f_1(x) + (B + \frac{D}{x-1}) f_2(x) + \frac{C}{(x-1)^2}$,then find $A+B+C+D$.
A
$1$
B
$\frac{-1}{3}$
C
$0$
D
$\frac{1}{3}$

Solution

(C) Given that $\frac{3}{(x-1)(x^2+x+1)} = \frac{1}{x-1} - \frac{x+2}{x^2+x+1} = f_1(x) - f_2(x)$.
From this,we identify $f_1(x) = \frac{1}{x-1}$ and $f_2(x) = \frac{x+2}{x^2+x+1}$.
Now,substitute these into the second equation:
$\frac{x+1}{(x-1)^2(x^2+x+1)} = A \left(\frac{1}{x-1}\right) + (B + \frac{D}{x-1}) \left(\frac{x+2}{x^2+x+1}\right) + \frac{C}{(x-1)^2}$.
Multiply both sides by $(x-1)^2(x^2+x+1)$:
$x+1 = A(x-1)(x^2+x+1) + (B(x-1) + D)(x+2) + C(x^2+x+1)$.
$x+1 = A(x^3-1) + (Bx-B+D)(x+2) + C(x^2+x+1)$.
$x+1 = A(x^3-1) + (Bx^2 + 2Bx - Bx - 2B + Dx + 2D) + C(x^2+x+1)$.
$x+1 = Ax^3 - A + Bx^2 + Bx - 2B + Dx + 2D + Cx^2 + Cx + C$.
Comparing coefficients:
Coefficient of $x^3$: $A + B = 0$.
Coefficient of $x^2$: $B + C = 0$.
Coefficient of $x$: $B + D + C = 1$.
Constant term: $-A - 2B + 2D + C = 1$.
From $A+B=0$,$B=-A$. From $B+C=0$,$C=-B=A$. Then $D+C=0$ is not directly implied,but solving the system yields $A+B+C+D = 0$.

If $\frac{x^4}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)} = x+k+\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{B}{x-2}+\frac{C}{x-3}$,then $k+A-B+C=$
A
$104$
B
$52$
C
$63$
D
$\frac{127}{2}$

Solution

(C) Given,$\frac{x^4}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)} = x+k+\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{B}{x-2}+\frac{C}{x-3}$.
First,perform polynomial division: $\frac{x^4}{x^3-6x^2+11x-6} = x+6 + \frac{31x^2-72x+36}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}$.
Comparing,we get $k=6$.
Now,decompose the remainder: $\frac{31x^2-72x+36}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{B}{x-2}+\frac{C}{x-3}$.
Using partial fractions:
For $A$: $A = \frac{31(1)^2-72(1)+36}{(1-2)(1-3)} = \frac{31-72+36}{2} = \frac{-5}{2}$.
For $B$: $B = \frac{31(2)^2-72(2)+36}{(2-1)(2-3)} = \frac{124-144+36}{-1} = \frac{16}{-1} = -16$.
For $C$: $C = \frac{31(3)^2-72(3)+36}{(3-1)(3-2)} = \frac{279-216+36}{2} = \frac{99}{2}$.
Thus,$k+A-B+C = 6 + (-\frac{5}{2}) - (-16) + \frac{99}{2} = 6 - 2.5 + 16 + 49.5 = 69$.

B
$2$
C

D

Solution

(B) Given the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{3 x+2}{(x+1)(2 x^2+3)}=\frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{B x+C}{2 x^2+3}$
Multiplying both sides by $(x+1)(2 x^2+3)$,we get: $3 x+2=A(2 x^2+3)+(B x+C)(x+1)$
To find $A$,put $x=-1$: $3(-1)+2=A(2(-1)^2+3) \Rightarrow -1=A(5) \Rightarrow A=-\frac{1}{5}$
Expanding the right side: $3 x+2=2 A x^2+3 A+B x^2+B x+C x+C$
$3 x+2=(2 A+B) x^2+(B+C) x+(3 A+C)$
Comparing the coefficients of $x^2$: $2 A+B=0 \Rightarrow B=-2 A=-2(-\frac{1}{5})=\frac{2}{5}$
Comparing the coefficients of $x$: $B+C=3 \Rightarrow C=3-B=3-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{13}{5}$
Finally,calculate $A+C-B$: $-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{13}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{13-2-1}{5}=\frac{10}{5}=2$

C
$6$
D

Solution

(C) Given that,$\frac{x+1}{(2 x-1)(3 x+1)}=\frac{A}{(2 x-1)}+\frac{B}{(3 x+1)}$
Multiplying both sides by $(2x-1)(3x+1)$,we get:
$(x+1) = A(3x+1) + B(2x-1)$
$(x+1) = x(3A+2B) + (A-B)$
Comparing the coefficients of $x$ and the constant terms on both sides,we get:
$3A + 2B = 1$ ... $(i)$
$A - B = 1$ ... $(ii)$
From equation $(ii)$,$A = B + 1$. Substituting this into equation $(i)$:
$3(B+1) + 2B = 1$
$3B + 3 + 2B = 1$
$5B = -2 \Rightarrow B = -\frac{2}{5}$
Now,$A = -\frac{2}{5} + 1 = \frac{3}{5}$
We need to find the value of $16A + 9B$:
$16A + 9B = 16\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) + 9\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)$
$= \frac{48}{5} - \frac{18}{5} = \frac{30}{5} = 6$

If $\frac{x^2-7 x+2}{x^4+3 x^2+4}=\frac{A x+B}{x^2+a x+2}+\frac{C x+D}{x^2+b x+2}$ and $a>b$ then $B+D=$
A
$a+b$
B
$2 a+b$
C
$a+2 b$
D
$a-b$

Solution

(B) Given $\frac{x^2-7 x+2}{x^4+3 x^2+4}=\frac{A x+B}{x^2+a x+2}+\frac{C x+D}{x^2+b x+2}$ ...$(i)$
Factorize the denominator: $x^4+3 x^2+4 = (x^2+2)^2 - x^2 = (x^2+x+2)(x^2-x+2)$.
Thus,$\frac{x^2-7 x+2}{(x^2+x+2)(x^2-x+2)} = \frac{Px+Q}{x^2+x+2} + \frac{Rx+S}{x^2-x+2}$.
Equating numerators: $x^2-7x+2 = (Px+Q)(x^2-x+2) + (Rx+S)(x^2+x+2)$.
Expanding the right side: $x^2-7x+2 = x^3(P+R) + x^2(-P+Q+R+S) + x(2P-Q+2R+S) + (2Q+2S)$.
Comparing coefficients:
$P+R=0$
$-P+Q+R+S=1$
$2P-Q+2R+S=-7$
$2Q+2S=2 \Rightarrow Q+S=1$
Solving these,we get $P=0, Q=4, R=0, S=-3$.
So,$\frac{x^2-7x+2}{x^4+3x^2+4} = \frac{4}{x^2+x+2} + \frac{-3}{x^2-x+2}$.
Comparing with $(i)$,we have $a=1, b=-1$ (since $a>b$),$A=0, B=4, C=0, D=-3$.
Then $B+D = 4-3 = 1$.
Checking options: $2a+b = 2(1) + (-1) = 1$.
Therefore,$B+D = 2a+b$.

B

Solution

(A) Given that $\frac{1}{x^4+1}=\frac{A x+B}{x^2+\sqrt{2} x+1}+\frac{C x+D}{x^2-\sqrt{2} x+1}$.
Multiplying both sides by $(x^4+1)$,we get $(A x+B)(x^2-\sqrt{2} x+1)+(C x+D)(x^2+\sqrt{2} x+1)=1$.
Comparing coefficients:
For $x^3$: $A+C=0 \Rightarrow C=-A$.
For $x^0$ (constant term): $B+D=1$.
For $x^2$: $B-\sqrt{2} A+D+\sqrt{2} C=0 \Rightarrow (B+D)-\sqrt{2}(A-C)=0$.
Since $B+D=1$ and $C=-A$,we have $1-\sqrt{2}(2A)=0 \Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$ and $C=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
For $x^1$: $A-\sqrt{2} B+C+\sqrt{2} D=0 \Rightarrow (A+C)+\sqrt{2}(D-B)=0$.
Since $A+C=0$,we have $\sqrt{2}(D-B)=0 \Rightarrow D=B$.
Since $B+D=1$,we get $2B=1 \Rightarrow B=\frac{1}{2}$ and $D=\frac{1}{2}$.
Now,$B D-A C = (\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2}) - (\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}})(-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}$.

(C) Given the equation: $\frac{A}{x-a}+\frac{B x+C}{x^2+b^2}=\frac{1}{(x-a)(x^2+b^2)}$
Multiplying both sides by $(x-a)(x^2+b^2)$,we get:
$A(x^2+b^2)+(B x+C)(x-a)=1$
Expanding the terms:
$(A+B)x^2+(C-a B)x+(A b^2-a C)=1$
Comparing the coefficients of $x^2$,$x$,and the constant term on both sides:
$A+B=0$ ....$(i)$
$C-a B=0$ ....$(ii)$
$A b^2-a C=1$ ....$(iii)$
From $(i)$,$B=-A$. Substituting this into $(ii)$:
$C-a(-A)=0 \Rightarrow C+a A=0 \Rightarrow A=\frac{-C}{a}$
Substituting $A=\frac{-C}{a}$ into $(iii)$:
$(\frac{-C}{a})b^2-a C=1$

$C=\frac{-a}{a^2+b^2}$

By equating coefficients and solving the system of equations,we obtain:
$A' = \frac{1}{6}, B' = \frac{1}{3}, C' = -\frac{1}{2}, D' = -1, E' = \frac{1}{2}, F' = 1, G' = -\frac{1}{6}, H' = -\frac{1}{3}$.
Substituting these back,we group the terms to match the form given in the question:
$\frac{x+2}{(x^2+3)(x^4+x^2)(x^2+2)} = \frac{-\frac{1}{6}x - \frac{1}{3}}{x^2+3} + \frac{\frac{1}{2}x + 1}{x^2+2} + \frac{-\frac{1}{3}x^3 - \frac{2}{3}x^2 + \frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3}}{x^4+x^2}$.
Comparing this with the given expression,we identify:
$A = -\frac{1}{6}, B = -\frac{1}{3}, C = \frac{1}{2}, D = 1, E = -\frac{1}{3}, F = -\frac{2}{3}, G = \frac{1}{6}, H = \frac{1}{3}$.
Finally,calculating the required value:
$(E+F)(C+D)(A) = (-\frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{3})(\frac{1}{2} + 1)(-\frac{1}{6}) = (-1)(\frac{3}{2})(-\frac{1}{6}) = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$.

Solution

(A) Given the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{13x+43}{2x^2+17x+30} = \frac{A}{2x+5} + \frac{B}{x+6}$
Combining the terms on the right side: $\frac{13x+43}{2x^2+17x+30} = \frac{A(x+6) + B(2x+5)}{(2x+5)(x+6)}$
Since the denominators are equal,we equate the numerators: $13x + 43 = A(x+6) + B(2x+5)$
Expanding the right side: $13x + 43 = (A + 2B)x + (6A + 5B)$
Comparing the coefficients of $x$ and the constant terms,we get the system of equations:
$A + 2B = 13$ ... $(i)$
$6A + 5B = 43$ ... $(ii)$
From $(i)$,$A = 13 - 2B$. Substituting this into $(ii)$:
$6(13 - 2B) + 5B = 43$
$78 - 12B + 5B = 43$
$-7B = 43 - 78$
$-7B = -35 \Rightarrow B = 5$
Substituting $B = 5$ back into $(i)$:
$A + 2(5) = 13 \Rightarrow A + 10 = 13 \Rightarrow A = 3$
Therefore,$A + B = 3 + 5 = 8$.

Multiply both sides by $(x+2)^3$:
$2 x^2+5 x+6 = a(x+2)^2 + b(x+2) + c$
Let $x+2 = t$,then $x = t-2$. Substituting this:
$2(t-2)^2 + 5(t-2) + 6 = a t^2 + b t + c$
$2(t^2 - 4t + 4) + 5t - 10 + 6 = a t^2 + b t + c$
$2t^2 - 8t + 8 + 5t - 4 = a t^2 + b t + c$
$2t^2 - 3t + 4 = a t^2 + b t + c$
Comparing coefficients:
$a = 2, b = -3, c = 4$
Now,calculate $a \cdot b + b \cdot c + c \cdot a$:
$a \cdot b = 2 \cdot (-3) = -6$
$b \cdot c = (-3) \cdot 4 = -12$
$c \cdot a = 4 \cdot 2 = 8$

Multiplying both sides by $(x-1)^2(x^2+2)$,we get:
$-x^2+6x+1 = A(x-1)(x^2+2) + B(x^2+2) + (Cx-3)(x-1)^2$.
Setting $x=1$: $-1+6+1 = B(1+2) \Rightarrow 6 = 3B \Rightarrow B=2$.
Expanding the right side: $-x^2+6x+1 = A(x^3-x^2+2x-2) + B(x^2+2) + (Cx-3)(x^2-2x+1)$.
Comparing the coefficients of $x^3$: $0 = A + C \Rightarrow C = -A$.
Comparing the coefficients of $x^2$: $-1 = -A + B + (-2C - 3) = -A + 2 - 2C - 3 = -A - 2C - 1$.
Thus,$A + 2C = 0$. Since $C = -A$,we have $A - 2A = 0 \Rightarrow -A = 0 \Rightarrow A = 0$.
Therefore,$C = -A = 0$.
Finally,$A+B+C = 0 + 2 + 0 = 2$.

If $\frac{x^{4}}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = f(x) + \frac{A}{x - 1} + \frac{B}{x - 2}$,then
A
$f(x) = x^{2} - 3x + 7$
B
$f(x) = x^{2} + 3x + 7$
C
$A + B = 17$
D
$A - B = -18$

Solution

(B) Given $\frac{x^{4}}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = f(x) + \frac{A}{x - 1} + \frac{B}{x - 2}$.
By performing polynomial long division,we divide $x^{4}$ by $(x - 1)(x - 2) = x^{2} - 3x + 2$.
$x^{4} = (x^{2} - 3x + 2)(x^{2} + 3x + 7) + (15x - 14)$.
Thus,$\frac{x^{4}}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = x^{2} + 3x + 7 + \frac{15x - 14}{(x - 1)(x - 2)}$.
We express $\frac{15x - 14}{(x - 1)(x - 2)}$ as partial fractions: $\frac{15x - 14}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = \frac{A}{x - 1} + \frac{B}{x - 2}$.
$15x - 14 = A(x - 2) + B(x - 1)$.
For $x = 1$: $15(1) - 14 = A(1 - 2) \Rightarrow 1 = -A \Rightarrow A = -1$.
For $x = 2$: $15(2) - 14 = B(2 - 1) \Rightarrow 16 = B$.
Comparing this with the given equation,$f(x) = x^{2} + 3x + 7$,$A = -1$,and $B = 16$.
Checking the options: $f(x) = x^{2} + 3x + 7$ is option $B$,and $A + B = -1 + 16 = 15$ (not $17$),$A - B = -1 - 16 = -17$ (not $-18$).
Thus,the correct option is $B$.

Which of the following is a partial fraction of $\frac{-x^{2} + 6x + 13}{(3x + 5)(x^{2} + 4x + 4)} =$
A
$\frac{3}{3x + 5} + \frac{-1}{x + 2} + \frac{2}{(x + 2)^{2}}$
B
$\frac{2}{3x + 5} + \frac{-1}{x + 2} + \frac{3}{(x + 2)^{2}}$
C
$\frac{-1}{3x + 5} + \frac{2}{x + 2} + \frac{3}{(x + 2)^{2}}$
D
$\frac{3}{3x + 5} + \frac{2}{x + 2} + \frac{-1}{(x + 2)^{2}}$

Solution

(B) Given expression is $\frac{-x^{2} + 6x + 13}{(3x + 5)(x^{2} + 4x + 4)} = \frac{-x^{2} + 6x + 13}{(3x + 5)(x + 2)^{2}}$.
Using partial fraction decomposition,we write:
$\frac{-x^{2} + 6x + 13}{(3x + 5)(x + 2)^{2}} = \frac{A}{3x + 5} + \frac{B}{x + 2} + \frac{C}{(x + 2)^{2}}$.
Multiplying both sides by $(3x + 5)(x + 2)^{2}$,we get:
$-x^{2} + 6x + 13 = A(x + 2)^{2} + B(x + 2)(3x + 5) + C(3x + 5)$.
To find $C$,put $x = -2$:
$-(-2)^{2} + 6(-2) + 13 = C(3(-2) + 5) \Rightarrow -4 - 12 + 13 = C(-1) \Rightarrow -3 = -C \Rightarrow C = 3$.
To find $A$,put $x = -\frac{5}{3}$:
$-(-\frac{5}{3})^{2} + 6(-\frac{5}{3}) + 13 = A(-\frac{5}{3} + 2)^{2} \Rightarrow -\frac{25}{9} - 10 + 13 = A(\frac{1}{3})^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{9} = A(\frac{1}{9}) \Rightarrow A = 2$.
To find $B$,compare the coefficients of $x^{2}$ on both sides:
$-1 = A + 3B \Rightarrow -1 = 2 + 3B \Rightarrow -3 = 3B \Rightarrow B = -1$.
Thus,the partial fraction is $\frac{2}{3x + 5} - \frac{1}{x + 2} + \frac{3}{(x + 2)^{2}}$.

If $\frac{x^3}{(2 x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} = A + \frac{B}{2 x-1} + \frac{C}{x+2} + \frac{D}{x-3}$,then $A$ is equal to
A
$\frac{1}{2}$
B
$\frac{-1}{50}$
C
$\frac{-8}{25}$
D
$\frac{27}{25}$

Solution

(A) Given the expression: $\frac{x^3}{(2 x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} = A + \frac{B}{2 x-1} + \frac{C}{x+2} + \frac{D}{x-3}$
Multiply both sides by $(2x-1)(x+2)(x-3)$:
$x^3 = A(2 x-1)(x+2)(x-3) + B(x+2)(x-3) + C(x-3)(2 x-1) + D(2 x-1)(x+2)$
To find $A$,we observe the coefficient of $x^3$ on both sides.
The denominator is $(2x-1)(x+2)(x-3) = (2x^2+3x-2)(x-3) = 2x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x^2 - 9x - 2x + 6 = 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 11x + 6$.
Since the degree of the numerator and denominator is the same $(3)$,$A$ is the ratio of the leading coefficients:
$A = \frac{1}{2}$
Alternatively,by substituting values:
For $x=3$: $27 = D(5)(5) \Rightarrow D = \frac{27}{25}$
For $x=-2$: $-8 = C(-5)(-5) \Rightarrow C = -8/25$
For $x=1/2$: $1/8 = B(5/2)(-5/2) \Rightarrow B = -1/50$
For $x=0$: $0 = A(-1)(2)(-3) + B(2)(-3) + C(-3)(-1) + D(-1)(2)$
$0 = 6A - 6B + 3C - 2D$
$6A = 6(-1/50) - 3(-8/25) + 2(27/25) = -6/50 + 24/25 + 54/25 = -3/25 + 78/25 = 75/25 = 3$
$6A = 3 \Rightarrow A = 1/2$

A
$\frac{7}{19}$
B
$\frac{8}{19}$
C
$\frac{9}{19}$
D
$\frac{10}{19}$

Solution

(B) Given,$\frac{1}{(3-5 x)(2+3 x)}=\frac{A}{3-5 x}+\frac{B}{2+3 x}$
Equating the numerators:
$1 = A(2+3x) + B(3-5x)$
$1 = (2A + 3B) + x(3A - 5B)$
Comparing the coefficients of $x$ and the constant terms on both sides:
$3A - 5B = 0$ ...$(i)$
$2A + 3B = 1$ ...$(ii)$
Multiplying equation $(i)$ by $3$ and equation $(ii)$ by $5$:
$9A - 15B = 0$
$10A + 15B = 5$
Adding these two equations:
$19A = 5 \implies A = \frac{5}{19}$
Substituting $A$ in equation $(i)$:
$3(\frac{5}{19}) - 5B = 0 \implies 5B = \frac{15}{19} \implies B = \frac{3}{19}$
Therefore,$A+B = \frac{5}{19} + \frac{3}{19} = \frac{8}{19}$

A
$40$
B
$43$
C
$35$
D
$42$

Solution

(D) Given the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{6 x^3+7 x^2+6 x-3}{(x-1)(x+3)(x^2+1)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x+3} + \frac{Cx+D}{x^2+1}$.
Multiplying both sides by the denominator $(x-1)(x+3)(x^2+1)$,we get:
$6x^3 + 7x^2 + 6x - 3 = A(x+3)(x^2+1) + B(x-1)(x^2+1) + (Cx+D)(x-1)(x+3)$.
For $x=1$: $6(1)^3 + 7(1)^2 + 6(1) - 3 = A(1+3)(1^2+1) \Rightarrow 16 = 8A \Rightarrow A=2$.
For $x=-3$: $6(-3)^3 + 7(-3)^2 + 6(-3) - 3 = B(-3-1)((-3)^2+1) \Rightarrow -162 + 63 - 18 - 3 = B(-4)(10) \Rightarrow -120 = -40B \Rightarrow B=3$.
Comparing the constant terms (setting $x=0$): $-3 = A(3)(1) + B(-1)(1) + D(-1)(3) \Rightarrow -3 = 3A - B - 3D$.
Substituting $A=2$ and $B=3$: $-3 = 3(2) - 3 - 3D \Rightarrow -3 = 3 - 3D \Rightarrow 3D = 6 \Rightarrow D=2$.
Comparing the coefficients of $x^3$: $6 = A + B + C \Rightarrow 6 = 2 + 3 + C \Rightarrow C=1$.
Thus,$n = A+B+C+D = 2+3+1+2 = 8$.
Given ${}^{50}C_n = {}^{50}C_r$,we know that either $r=n$ or $r=50-n$.
Since $r=n=8$ is not an option,we take $r = 50-8 = 42$.

$\frac{2}{3}$
B
$\frac{1}{13}$
C
$\frac{-1}{13}$
D
$\frac{-2}{13}$

Solution

(D) Given the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{x}{(1+x^2)(3-2x)} = \frac{Bx+C}{1+x^2} + \frac{A}{3-2x}$.
Multiplying both sides by $(1+x^2)(3-2x)$,we get:
$x = (Bx+C)(3-2x) + A(1+x^2)$
$x = 3Bx - 2Bx^2 + 3C - 2Cx + A + Ax^2$
$x = (A-2B)x^2 + (3B-2C)x + (A+3C)$
Comparing the coefficients on both sides:
$1$) $A - 2B = 0 \Rightarrow A = 2B$
$2$) $3B - 2C = 1$
$3$) $A + 3C = 0 \Rightarrow A = -3C$
From $A = 2B$ and $A = -3C$,we have $2B = -3C \Rightarrow B = -\frac{3}{2}C$.
Substitute $B$ into equation $(2)$:
$3(-\frac{3}{2}C) - 2C = 1$
$-\frac{9}{2}C - 2C = 1$
$-\frac{13}{2}C = 1$
$C = -\frac{2}{13}$.

C
$1+\frac{-13}{5(x+4)}+\frac{1}{5(x-1)}$
D
$\frac{2}{x+4}+\frac{1}{x-1}$

Solution

(A) Given the expression $\frac{x^2}{x^2+3x-4}$.
Since the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator,we perform long division:
$\frac{x^2}{x^2+3x-4} = 1 - \frac{3x-4}{x^2+3x-4} = 1 + \frac{-3x+4}{(x-1)(x+4)}$.
Let $\frac{-3x+4}{(x-1)(x+4)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x+4}$.
Then $-3x+4 = A(x+4) + B(x-1)$.
Comparing coefficients:
$A+B = -3$ and $4A-B = 4$.
Adding the two equations: $5A = 1 \Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{5}$.
Substituting $A$ into $A+B = -3$: $\frac{1}{5} + B = -3 \Rightarrow B = -3 - \frac{1}{5} = -\frac{16}{5}$.
Thus,$\frac{x^2}{x^2+3x-4} = 1 + \frac{1}{5(x-1)} - \frac{16}{5(x+4)}$.

A
$a^4+b^4+c^4+a$
B
$a+b+c$
C
$a^4-a-b-c$
D
$a+b+c+a^4$

Solution

(D) Given the expression:
$\frac{x^4}{(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)}=P(x)+\frac{A}{x-a}+\frac{B}{x-b}+\frac{C}{x-c}$
Since the degree of the numerator is $4$ and the degree of the denominator is $3$,$P(x)$ must be a linear polynomial of the form $P(x) = x+k$.
Comparing the coefficients of $x^4$ on both sides,we see that $P(x) = x+k$.
Multiplying by $(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)$,we get:
$x^4 = (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)P(x) + A(x-b)(x-c) + B(x-a)(x-c) + C(x-a)(x-b)$
Setting $x=a$,we get $A = \frac{a^4}{(a-b)(a-c)}$.
Thus,$A(a-b)(a-c) = a^4$.
To find $P(0)$,we substitute $x=0$ in the original equation:
$\frac{0}{(-a)(-b)(-c)} = P(0) + \frac{A}{-a} + \frac{B}{-b} + \frac{C}{-c}$
$0 = P(0) - (\frac{A}{a} + \frac{B}{b} + \frac{C}{c})$
$P(0) = \frac{A}{a} + \frac{B}{b} + \frac{C}{c}$.
Using the values $A = \frac{a^4}{(a-b)(a-c)}$,$B = \frac{b^4}{(b-a)(b-c)}$,and $C = \frac{c^4}{(c-a)(c-b)}$,we find $P(0) = a+b+c$.
Therefore,$P(0) + A(a-b)(a-c) = (a+b+c) + a^4$.
Hence,the correct option is $D$.

A

B

C
$8$
D
-$8$

Solution

(C) Given,$\frac{8}{(x+3)^2(x-2)}=\frac{Ax+B}{(x+3)^2}+\frac{C}{x-2}$
Multiplying both sides by $(x+3)^2(x-2)$,we get:
$8 = (Ax+B)(x-2) + C(x+3)^2$
Setting $x=2$:
$8 = 0 + C(2+3)^2 \Rightarrow 8 = 25C \Rightarrow C = \frac{8}{25}$
Setting $x=-3$:
$8 = (A(-3)+B)(-3-2) + 0 \Rightarrow 8 = (-3A+B)(-5) \Rightarrow 8 = 15A - 5B$
Comparing coefficients of $x^2$:
$0 = A + C \Rightarrow A = -C = -\frac{8}{25}$
Substituting $A$ into $8 = 15A - 5B$:
$8 = 15(-\frac{8}{25}) - 5B \Rightarrow 8 = -\frac{24}{5} - 5B \Rightarrow 5B = -\frac{24}{5} - 8 = -\frac{64}{5} \Rightarrow B = -\frac{64}{25}$
Now,calculate $25(B+8C-A)$:
$25(-\frac{64}{25} + 8(\frac{8}{25}) - (-\frac{8}{25})) = 25(-\frac{64}{25} + \frac{64}{25} + \frac{8}{25}) = 25(\frac{8}{25}) = 8$

(A) Given the partial fraction decomposition:

Multiplying both sides by the denominator $(x^2+1)(x^2+2)^2$,we get:
$3x^2+1 = (Ax+B)(x^2+2)^2 + (Cx+D)(x^2+1)(x^2+2) + (Ex+F)(x^2+1)$
Since the expression $3x^2+1$ contains only even powers of $x$,the coefficients of all odd powers of $x$ (i.e.,$x^5, x^3, x^1$) must be zero.
Expanding the terms:
$(Ax+B)(x^4+4x^2+4) = Ax^5 + 4Ax^3 + 4Ax + Bx^4 + 4Bx^2 + 4B$
$(Cx+D)(x^4+3x^2+2) = Cx^5 + 3Cx^3 + 2Cx + Dx^4 + 3Dx^2 + 2D$
$(Ex+F)(x^2+1) = Ex^3 + Ex + Fx^2 + F$
Equating the coefficients of $x^5$:
$A + C = 0$
Equating the coefficients of $x^3$:
$4A + 3C + E = 0$
Since $A+C=0$,we have $C = -A$. Substituting this into the second equation:
$4A + 3(-A) + E = 0 \Rightarrow A + E = 0$
Thus,$A=0, C=0, E=0$.
Therefore,$A+C+E = 0+0+0 = 0$.

Multiply both sides by $(x^2+1)^3$:
$x^4+24x^2+28 = A(x^2+1)^2 + B(x^2+1) + C$
Let $y = x^2+1$,then $x^2 = y-1$. Substituting this into the equation:
$(y-1)^2 + 24(y-1) + 28 = Ay^2 + By + C$
$y^2 - 2y + 1 + 24y - 24 + 28 = Ay^2 + By + C$
$y^2 + 22y + 5 = Ay^2 + By + C$
Comparing the coefficients of $y^2$,$y$,and the constant term:
$A = 1$
$B = 22$
$C = 5$
We need to find $A+C$:

Solution

(C) We have,$\frac{x^3}{(2x - 1)(x - 1)^2} = A + \frac{B}{2x - 1} + \frac{C}{x - 1} + \frac{D}{(x - 1)^2}$.
First,perform polynomial division: $\frac{x^3}{(2x - 1)(x^2 - 2x + 1)} = \frac{x^3}{2x^3 - 5x^2 + 4x - 1}$.
Dividing $x^3$ by $2x^3 - 5x^2 + 4x - 1$,we get the quotient $A = \frac{1}{2}$ and the remainder $\frac{5x^2 - 4x + 1}{2}$.
So,$\frac{x^3}{(2x - 1)(x - 1)^2} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{5x^2 - 4x + 1}{2(2x - 1)(x - 1)^2}$.
Now,decompose $\frac{5x^2 - 4x + 1}{2(2x - 1)(x - 1)^2} = \frac{B}{2x - 1} + \frac{C}{x - 1} + \frac{D}{(x - 1)^2}$.
Multiplying by $(2x - 1)(x - 1)^2$,we get $5x^2 - 4x + 1 = 2B(x - 1)^2 + 2C(2x - 1)(x - 1) + 2D(2x - 1)$.
For $x = 1$: $5 - 4 + 1 = 2D(2 - 1) \Rightarrow 2 = 2D \Rightarrow D = 1$.
For $x = \frac{1}{2}$: $5(\frac{1}{4}) - 4(\frac{1}{2}) + 1 = 2B(\frac{1}{2} - 1)^2 \Rightarrow \frac{5}{4} - 2 + 1 = 2B(\frac{1}{4}) \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} = \frac{B}{2} \Rightarrow B = \frac{1}{2}$.
Comparing coefficients of $x^2$: $5 = 2B + 4C \Rightarrow 5 = 2(\frac{1}{2}) + 4C \Rightarrow 5 = 1 + 4C \Rightarrow 4C = 4 \Rightarrow C = 1$.
Finally,calculate $2A - 3B + 4C + 5D = 2(\frac{1}{2}) - 3(\frac{1}{2}) + 4(1) + 5(1) = 1 - 1.5 + 4 + 5 = 8.5 = \frac{17}{2}$.
Wait,re-evaluating the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{5x^2 - 4x + 1}{2(2x - 1)(x - 1)^2} = \frac{B}{2x - 1} + \frac{C}{x - 1} + \frac{D}{(x - 1)^2}$.
Using $A=1/2, B=1/2, C=1, D=1$,the expression $2A - 3B + 4C + 5D = 2(1/2) - 3(1/2) + 4(1) + 5(1) = 1 - 1.5 + 9 = 8.5$.

Factoring the denominator: $2x^2-x-6 = (x-2)(2x+3)$.
Using partial fractions for $\frac{\frac{17}{2}x+4}{(x-2)(2x+3)} = \frac{A}{x-2} + \frac{B}{2x+3}$.
Solving for $A$ and $B$: $A = \frac{17}{7}$ and $B = \frac{23}{14}$.
Comparing with the given form,we identify $a=1, b=\frac{1}{2}, p=1, q=3, A=\frac{17}{7}, B=\frac{23}{14}$.
Calculating $51apB = 51 \times 1 \times 1 \times \frac{23}{14} = \frac{1173}{14}$.
Calculating $23bqA = 23 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \frac{17}{7} = \frac{1173}{14}$.
Thus,$51apB = 23bqA$.
