Partial Fraction Decomposition: Non-Linear Factors

In this video I go over further into partial fraction decomposition and show how to decompose rational functions that have non-linear factors (or irreducible factors) in the denominator. The method used for this case is similar to the technique used for linear factors but we have to account for the "size" of the numerator in the partial fractions so we need to apply write the numerator of each non-linear factor as a polynomial.

I don't always decompose rational functions with non-linear factors in the denominator but when I do I usually make sure the partial fractions have a polynomial in the numerator ;)

The video is much better in x2 speed (x1.5 speed if you're slow).
