Integration of Rational Functions using Partial Fractions
Example: We wish to evaluate the integral
5 10( 4)( 1)
x dxx x
−∫ − +
As a first step, we need to break up the integrand into managablepieces. We will attempt to break the integrand into two pieces, each containing only one of the factors (x − 4)(x + 1) in its denominator. That is we want to write
![Page 4: Math123 Lecture 1 - College of Arts and Sciences · Integration of Rational Functions using Partial Fractions Example: We wish to evaluate the integral 510 (4)(1) x dx xx − ∫](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050602/5fa9361c936ad35af715d149/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

for some numbers A and B. If the identity is true, then by putting the terms on the right in a form where we have a common denominator, we get:
![Page 5: Math123 Lecture 1 - College of Arts and Sciences · Integration of Rational Functions using Partial Fractions Example: We wish to evaluate the integral 510 (4)(1) x dx xx − ∫](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050602/5fa9361c936ad35af715d149/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5 10( 4)( 1) ( 4) ( 1)
x A Bx x x x
− = +− + − +
for some numbers A and B. If the identity is true, then by putting the terms on the right in a form where we have a common denominator, we get:
5 10 ( 1) ( 4)( 4)( 1) ( 4)( 1)
x A x B xx x x x

![Page 6: Math123 Lecture 1 - College of Arts and Sciences · Integration of Rational Functions using Partial Fractions Example: We wish to evaluate the integral 510 (4)(1) x dx xx − ∫](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050602/5fa9361c936ad35af715d149/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
5 10( 4)( 1) ( 4) ( 1)
x A Bx x x x
− = +− + − +
for some numbers A and B. If the identity is true, then by putting the terms on the right in a form where we have a common denominator, we get:
5 10 ( 1) ( 4)( 4)( 1) ( 4)( 1)
x A x B xx x x x
− + + −=− + − +
It then follows that 5 10 ( 1) ( 4).x A x B x− = + + −
This is not an equation to solve for x. It is an identity, meaning that it must be true for all possible values of x.

Method 1 for finding A and B. Collect like powers of xtogether on the right side of the equation
To get
It follows that 5 10 ( ) ( 4 )x A B x A B− = + + −( ) 5 and ( 4 ) 10A B A B+ = − =−
5 10 ( 1) ( 4).x A x B x− = + + −

Method 1 for finding A and B. Collect like powers of xtogether on the right side of the equation
To get
It follows that 5 10 ( ) ( 4 )x A B x A B− = + + −( ) 5 and ( 4 ) 10A B A B+ = − =−
5 10 ( 1) ( 4).x A x B x− = + + −
We can solve these equations simultaneously. The first can be written and substituted into the second to get5A B= −
(5 ) 4 10 or 5 15B B B− − =− =
It follows that 5B = 15, or B = 3. Thus A = 2 and so

Method 2 for finding A and B. substitute values of x into the identity
Any values will do, but the ones that produce the simplest results are x = 4 and x = –1. When substituted in, they produce the results and
Thus A = 2 and B = 3, as before.
5 10 ( 1) ( 4).x A x B x− = + + −

Types of partial fractions
Factoring a polynomial means breaking it up as the product of the smallest possible terms. Such terms may be ‘linear’, that isof the form
(ax + b)
or ‘quadratic’, that is of the form 2( )ax bx c+ +

Thus we have the following procedure.
1. Start with a proper fraction r(x) (order of numerator less than order of denominator) with denominator of order k and factored.
2. Set up the corresponding partial fraction expansion on the right, with k unknowns.
3. Put the right side over a common denominator, and equate numerators. Choose and plug in k values of x. Pick values that make one factor vanish, and if needed pick the other values small.
4. Solve for the unknown constants.
5. Plug the constants into the partial fraction expansion and integrate (by substitution).
