  1. Question 1

    Q1. The partial fraction decomposition of 1 / (x + 2)(x + 3) is

    • A) 1 / (x + 2) + 1 / (x + 3)
    • B) -1 / (x + 2) + 1 / (x + 3)
    • C) 1 / (x + 3) - 1 / (x + 2)
    • D) -1 / (x + 3) + 1 / (x + 2)

    Answer: 1 / (x + 3) - 1 / (x + 2)

    Explanation: Apply cover-up method or equate coefficients to find A = -1 and B = 1.
