Glad to see this continues to be a helpful video for students...If you want clarification on these different types check out the partial fraction playlist I put together here:

I swear to God, this is the best I've seen. Like, I can't believe I just learned everything about partial fractions in less than 40 minutes, this is a topic my lecturers have been unable to finish for weeks.
It was clear, simple, fast, explanatory, straight to the point and above all, completely free.
God bless you loads Sir.

PLEASE DON'T STOP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THE FUTURE WORLD NEEDS YOU.

You don't even realize how many students you are saving. Sometimes I don't quite understand the teacher, or forget a thing or two, and having these videos to watch as many times as I need is the only reason I am passing my class. Being able to watch it over again and go, "Oh, that makes sense now, " "So you do A before B, " makes all the difference. Keep it up

For 28:27 : A=0 B=-2 C=0 D=1 E=3. And so the partial fractions you'll get are : -2/(x^2+2) + 1/(x^2+2)^2 + 3/x+3. Thanks Mario for the video it was very helpful

[nagasaipurvaz]

Thank you Mario I got 50/50 on math exam because of your explanation

[qaisurrehman]

sir this is an absolutely fabulous work it helped me a lot bless you.

[nikkunikki]

Earlier I was really scared because of this partial faction, but after watching this video i can easily solve partial fraction. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH 💕💕🙏

[djones]

I may be a year late. But as I sit in math class unable to catch due to a lack of understanding. Watching this currently has helped me through my current exercises and allowed me to catch up to the class

[GuyGuysonHimself]

Concise, but still thorough enough to explain everything clearly. Thank you for this awesome video!

[Tony-nlpf]

You explained all of the different ways. Thank you

[mitchclark]

By far the best Calc lecture I've seen on the internet. THANK YOU!

[sebastianbate]

Wow this might be the clearest I've learned it in a while, thank you so much!

[atherises]

I missed 2 days of class because I was sick. This video just saved my life! Test in 8 hours and I need to sleep :P

[VectorSpace]

@8:35 a beautiful and simple explanation as to why we add b/(x-2) + c/(x-2)^2 terms.. I have been desperately watching these videos for that exact explanation, so thank you.

[alphaomega]

This is really THE video to go to for partial fractions. You made it so easy to understand, thank you!

[assqssn]

19:00 might've been the craziest thing i've ever watched on youtube. what he did made so much sense to me but i literally would never think of doing this. satisfying math

[elishaumoh]

Never knew Partial Fraction was this easy. Thank You, Sir!

[calculusrescue]

Thank. You. So. Much.... I'm currently trying to work ahead for a forced week out of class and this turned my day around.
