Lesson Plan: Integration by Partial Fractions with Quadratic Factors
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to use partial fractions to evaluate integrals of rational functions with irreducible quadratic factors in the denominator.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- use partial fractions to evaluate integrals of rational functions with irreducible quadratic factors in the denominator.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- using partial fractions to evaluate integrals of rational functions with linear factors in the denominator.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- using partial fractions to evaluate integrals of rational functions that are improper fractions.
