I prefer your videos to Khanacademy's videos. I think your videos get straight to the point instead of dawdling away time like some of Khan's videos. You also seem to cover topics he doesn't, which is a major help. It's a shame that we pay so much for education to teach us and we don't understand it, then turn to free resources to help us learn it. Thanks so much though PatrickJMT! I can only imagine how much your videos will help me in university in September.
It's like Patrick teaches us how to count from 1-10 by ones while our professors teach us to also count from 1-10 but skips numbers in between🤒🤒....thanks Patrick you're the man💯
wow. I read the text book full of 3 pages of notes and examples and would not understand. I then went to class for 110 minutes and I had a lecture about this. Yet you some how explained it in a much simpler way. thanks I love the math videos in youtube. They are clear and straight to the point
Now why doesn't my textbook contain these simple steps to actually explain how we can do partial fractions, but instead uses confusing shortcuts to solve the problem...I think most of the time ,students do badly on math only because most of their textbook sucks
Lol, my book is exactly the same. It COMPLETELY steps over all the algebra to save page count. It doesn't even show a quick formula to get the desired result. I'm okay with some algebra skipping if it's obvious but this is a lot of skipped algebra that is basically the point of this entire technique..it's like showing how to differentiate while skipping the differentiation.
You know how to explain things 1000% better than my teacher thank you sooooooo much all your videos related to this topic are great keep up the videos plz
thanks! was having some issues with the repeated factor of x^2 and i've resolved it. i love all your vids, and you're gonna be the only way i get through calculus at my community college! (none of the professors can teach)
I swear I am going to be making a massive donation once i get out of school and into the workforce. You have saved my ass so many times its a little ridiculous.
im just a little confused when you start equating the coefficient and solving for A... if B=-1/5 you will get a different value for A depending on which equation you plug the -1/5 into. So how do you know which one is right?
So x^2 is quadratic. x^2 also equals x times x, which are two linear terms. You have to account for the linearity in the original addition as well. I know this is such a late answer but I hope it helps
Thanks for the video, great stuff. Where do you explain why a denominator of (x)^2 gets decomposed into x and x^2 rather than just x and x? I'd like to understand this properly.
The degree of the numerator is it bigger or is it equal to the denominator? Because you have taught me that the degree of the numerator must be less than the degree of the numerator
@tiff4annie Nope, anytime you have an x power greater than 1, you need all the possible factors that make it up. For example, if you had x^5, you would need x, x^2, x^3, x^4, and x^5.
Another way to do this would be to use your trick of plugging in x values, and then just pick a value for x to solve for the last variable (since you already know what the values of B and C are). It's a little faster, I think.
Does the A, B, C value not have to be one degree less than the denominator?? Like instead of B should you not have Bx + C? I'm just wondering because in example 6 your second fraction was degree 2 and you put Bx+C/x^2+2x+6? Thank you in advance, these are really helpful videos
I have a similar problem. A proper fraction with a linear numerator. The denominator is a product of a linear factor and a factor repeated 5 times, x^5. How do I approach this?
I am Chand Evil No worries. After finding 2 of the coefficients (A and F), I used 3 random values of x to solve for the 3 unknown coefficients using the system of equations (simultaneous equations)
aren't you supposed to include an x in the numerator that is one degree less than the x that is in the denominator? so if you have an x in the denominator you end up having Nx^0 which is equal to N and if you have x^2 in the denominator therefore you should have Nx
+Harsh Patel According to his method, this allows us to have a visual cue that x^2 is a repeating linear expression rather than a quadratic expression that is repeated.
because that's how it works bro, if u got a factor with a power more than 1, u gotta put the term without power first then repeat the term again until u reach its power. for example u got (x+3)^3, your denominator would be (x+3), (x+3)^2, (x+3)^3. there you go, hope this helps
Instead of making the denominator have 3 terms, I kept it as two (A/x^2) + (B/x+3). Would a solution to that be the same as using 3 terms (A,B, and C).
One of my variables comes up a 0. A=0. is that possible? It'd cancel a whole fraction out. I've gone over my working and i haven't found any mistakes. :S
Hi Patrick..... your uploads are quite appreciated.thank u so much. I got doubt that if we go by substitution method as If x=0, we get B= -5/3 If x=-3 , we get c= 1/9 If x^2=0 , how to find 'A' value? Please do explain?looking forward to your reply. Thanku
you can use x=0 , x=-3 and x=1 for A by subbing in B and C and then just use basic lcm and then you just simplify the fraction and you get the same answer for A
I'm sure the equating coefficients is faster than the other method
10 років тому+1
Can someone please explain why A has an X in its denominator? If (X)^2(X+3) is essentially (x)(x)(x+3), why isn't it A/x+B/x+C/(x+3) ? Or even A/x^2 + B/(x+3). I just don't get where that x comes from.
The horrible and egotistic College Math professors should be fired. Not all of them. Most of my math courses I had great instructors, except when I took Differential Equations for the first time. HE LITERALLY SAID HE WILL FAIL ALL OF US AND HE WILL MAKE THE COURSE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE THAT ONLY 3 KIDS OR LESS WILL BE LEFT IN THE FINAL. He's never done a partial credit for the class. One mistake means you're zero. All your work in the problem will not be counted. I still despise him to this date. He must have been bullied in his younger years lmaooo. I took it for the second time with a different professor(which is so awesome by the way), and GOT A FUKEN A IN CLASS.
i commented this last semester but oh my god hahahahhahaha my calculus professor is literally useless. he like types math out in paragraph form and reads it out to us and is like "get it? cooooool" without explaining anything. i almost cried the first lecture because i couldn't even keep up with review from last semester. so i started watching these before lectures and now i know what hes talking about and don't hold back tears every tuesday/thursday. when i get a job i owe u dude youre basically my calculus professor this semester and the reason my grades dont s u c k. thx (sry for the novel im just passionate)
could someone please take a look at the following: x^2 -19x + 15 all over (x-1)(x-2)^2 = A/(x-1) + B/(x-2) + C/(x-2)^2 ... now it makes perfect sense to me that C/(x-2) is incorrect. However, (x-2)^2 = x^2 -4x + 4 and if you said A/(x-1) + (Bx+C)/(x^2 -4x + 4), you'd still end up getting the wrong answer. I don't see where the process becomes inconsistent. Thanks!!!
I have a question, so my partial fraction decomp was -2/(x+1) -3/(x+1)^2 + 2/(x-1) and i got -2ln|x+1| +3/(x+1) +2ln|x-1| +C now the correct answer has the same answer but without the coefficients of -2,3,2. Did i do something wrong? The original equation was (x+3)/[(x+1)^2(x-1)] . Thanks to anybody who can help!

Why shouldn't we put Bx over x^2 for the second term? Isn't x^2 a quadratic factor?
im just a little confused when you start equating the coefficient and solving for A... if B=-1/5 you will get a different value for A depending on which equation you plug the -1/5 into. So how do you know which one is right?
How does x squared break down into x then x squared in the initial fraction set up?
So x^2 is quadratic. x^2 also equals x times x, which are two linear terms. You have to account for the linearity in the original addition as well. I know this is such a late answer but I hope it helps

why did you put x and (x)^2 at the beginning?

On the power
When you get the answer, aren't you supposed to integrate it back?
Instead of making the denominator have 3 terms, I kept it as two (A/x^2) + (B/x+3). Would a solution to that be the same as using 3 terms (A,B, and C).
Using matrices to solve for those constants is so much faster. id recommend it. but great video. Saved me a failing grade

you can use x=0 , x=-3 and x=1 for A by subbing in B and C and then just use basic lcm and then you just simplify the fraction and you get the same answer for A
at 6:58 why is it +5/3 and not -5/3 for B when you plug into 4= 3A + B
edit NVM: IM BRAIN DEAD.
I don't understand this. why does (x^2) turn into a/(x) + b/(x^2) ?
I'm sure the equating coefficients is faster than the other method

i can only show some example.. let say denominator (X)^3 it will be =A/(X)^1 + B/(X)^2 + C/(X)^3 same as (X)^2 = A/(X)^1 + B/(X)^2.
