We have to express the given expression 5/(x^2-5x+6) as
partial
fractions.
5/(x^2-5x+6)
=>
5 / ( x^2 - 3x - 2x + 6)
=> 5/ ( x(x - 3) - 2( x -
3))
=> 5/ (x - 2)(x -
3)
=> A / (x - 2) + B/ (x -
3)
=> [A(x - 3) + B(x - 2)]/ (x - 2)(x
-3)
Ax - 3A + Bx - 2B =
5
=> Ax + Bx - 3A - 2B =
5
Equate the coefficients of x and the numeric
coefficients
=> A + B = 0 and 3A + 2B =
-5
=> A = -B
Substitute
in 3A + 2B = -5
=> -3B + 2B =
-5
=> B = 5
A =
-5
We can write 5/(x^2-5x+6) = 5/(x - 3) -
5/(x - 2).
