Student Problem #5: Unit J Concept 5

What is this picture about?

This picture shows Unit J Concept 5, Partial Fraction decomposition with Distinct Factors. This picture will demonstrate each step in solving PFD's. It shows the breaking apart of a fraction approximately in 7 steps. This picture is a well a preview of what we will learn in Calculus. 

What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?

The viewer needs to pay close attention to the side notes (in green) in order to understand what is being solved. The notes make each step clearer and easier to understand. Also pay close attention to the Distribution Process because that is where many students make mistakes. They will either distribute incorrectly or not put correct signs. When getting your A B or C if you get a fraction be sure to write it correctly in your final answer; you need to place the denominator of the original fraction in the denominator portion of the answer. All in all Thank You for taking the time to look at my pictures.
