Split the following expression into partial fractions of the form A/(x-3) + B/(4x+2) : (19x-15)/(4x+2)(x-3)

Set the expression equal to the form required in the solution. Multiply both sides by (4x-2)(x-3) to get rid of the denominator and acquire an expression of the form: 19x-15 = A(4x+2) + B(x-3). From here ...

Differentiate with respect to x: (4x^2+3x+9)

8x + 3. When you differentiate you must take each term separately. For the first term (4x^2) you must times the coefficent of x (4) by the power (2) and subtract one from the power. Giving an answer of 8 ...
