From enunciation, we'll get 2 equivalent expressions for
y:
3x/(x^2 -9)= [m/(x-3)] +
[n/(x+3)]
Since the LCD of the fractions from the right
side is (x-3)(x+3) = x^2 - 9, we'll multiply by x^2 - 9 both
fractions:
3x/(x^2 -9)= [m(x+3) + n(x-3)]/ (x^2
-9)
Having the common denominator (x^2 -9), we'll simplify
it.
3x = mx+3m+nx-3n
We'll
factorize by x to the right side:
3x = x*(m+n) +
(3m-3n)
The terms from the right side and the left side of
the equality, have to be equal so that:
m+n=3
(1)
3m-3n=0
We'll divide by
3:
m - n = 0 (2)
We'll add the
second relation to the first
one:
m+n+m-n=3+0
2m=3
m
= 3/2
But, from (2) => m=n =
3/2
The numbers m and n are equal: m = n =
3/2.
