Ultimate Partial Fraction Decomposition Study Guide (how setup)

Partial Fraction decomposition (for integration purposes)

0:00 a sneak peek
0:26 the rational functions that we like to integrate
2:38 case 0: polynomial long division
3:12 case 1: distinct linear factor
5:30 case 2: irreducible quadratic factors
7:22 case 3: repeating factors
11:33 "You Try"

Solutions to "You Try"

9:38 Yeah, but that worked only because the repeating factor was just "x", how can you prove the formula to be valid if the repeating factor was anything else?

As a math tutor, this video explains it perfectly and it is not taught with this level of detail in most calc courses. Thanks BPRP!

[juandaviolin]

Altough the board is a sacred tradition, I also enjoy this format of videos. Keep it up!

[whosjag]

Did he try to bait us into the video with a sneak peak of him cancelling x like a vlog youtuber?!

This man saved me in 11th and 12th grade. Now is coming clutch again when Im in college! He's da GOAT

I am an engineering student, in a course, we should those partial fraction decomposition to solve Laplace questions in transform calculus for advanced math engineering, and I couldn't remember how to decompose them, and you SAVED my time and helped to remember all. Thanks!

2:01 Thank you for the shot showing the difference between the options for the various forms the rational forms should be in! Also, I really liked how the different segments describe the individual steps/possible setups in order (with a couple of examples regarding a particular step) instead of merely solving different problems like most videos! Awesome explanations & video!

My professor showed us partial fractions today, this helps a lot, thank you!

[nickg]

Thank you! Currently taking Differential Equations and I forgot everything I learned from Calc 2 about partial fractions. Your videos always save the day

Best math channel on Youtube, you know the deal!

I love how you learn something like partial fractions in highschool or longdivision in elementary school, and then you dont use it for 4+ years and then get into calc 3 or diff eq at college and you need to look it up again because its expected to be memorized. I think it's less the fault of the teacher on either end but the curriculum in the middle not reinforcing some of these things that aren't just esoteric one offs for non math majors.

LOVED THIS! I was confused and after watching this, it clicked. Thanks!

[TheBobbyBoucher]

I literally have a test on this tomorrow thanks so much for a good review!

[cereal]

Your videos help me A LOT. It's all so well-structured and straightforward. Thank you!

[galo]

The new format of the video is amazing, thanks!

[Javriprakash]

I salute to your timing
I required this video today and you uploaded it

[alkankondo]

It took just the first 7 seconds of the video, folks, for him to answer my biggest lingering question with partial fraction decomposition. 7 SECONDS!

[allmight]

This is my favorite integration techinque and you managed to perfectly explain it in less then 10 minutes i hope you do other techinques as well

[sophiegrogan]

One of the only videos I could find that explained how to break up the fraction when it's like the last example, very useful thank you

[Saptarshi.Sarkar]

Was doing complex calculus and needed a quick refresher on partial fractions when this popped up on my feed. Great video!
