Partial Fractions – Proper Rational Fraction
Method for solving Proper rational fraction
Factorize the denominator. The factors may be linear or quadratic or cubic, etc., and
repeated or non-repeated. Partial fractions corresponding to each of these factors are given below:
Factor Form of partial fractions
