MAC 2312 Name: Worksheet - Section 7.4 7.4: Integration of Rational Functions by Partial Fractions Directions: Work in your small group to complete this tutorial. Return the completed worksheet along with the homework exercises at the beginning of next class. All answers must be justified and work shown for full credit. Explanations should be written using complete sentences in the spaces provided. 1. Evaluate the integral using the partial fraction decomposition provided. (a) ? (x² + 1) / (x³ - x²) dx given that (x² + 1) / (x³ - x²) = -1/x - 1/x² + 2/(x - 1) (b) ? (x - 2) / (x? + x²) dx given that (x - 2) / (x? + x²) = 1/x - 2/x² + (-x + 2)/(x² + 1)

In Exercises 11-16, find the partial fraction decomposition: In Exercises 17-40, calculate the integral:
Andrew N.
In Exercises 63–80, write the partial fraction decomposition for the rational expression. Check your result algebraically by combining fractions, and check your result graphically by using a graphing utility to graph the rational expression and the partial fractions in the same viewing window. $$ \frac{x-2}{x^{2}+4 x+3} $$
