Unit J Concept 6: Student Problem 6

Details: this concept is similar to concept 5, however we have repeating factors here. so we must remember to correctly count up with exponents in the denominator. other than that, it's the same steps, and remember to substitute back correctly.
Remember to FOIL and combine like terms correctly!

Unit J Concept 5 Student Problem

Details:

This is about partial fraction decomposition (with distinct factors). We learn how to break a fraction apart (helpful for calculus). Several steps include composing, combining like terms, and factoring (and skills from concept 1). We focus on the denominator.

Make sure to pay attention to the steps when you are looking for the common denomintaor and the multiplication that is involved (FOIL correctly!!)
