Lesson: Partial Fractions: Nonrepeated Irreducible Quadratic Factors Mathematics • 12th Grade

Students will be able to

• decompose a rational expression with an irreducible quadratic factor in the denominator,
• decompose a rational expression with an irreducible repeated quadratic factor in the denominator,
• decompose rational expressions with irreducible quadratic factors in the denominator by first applying algebraic division to lower the degree of the numerator,
• use a given partial fraction decomposition involving an irreducible repeated quadratic factor in the denominator to find unknowns.
