engineering mathematics MCQ #3708

  1. Question 1

    Q1. Resolve (2x + 3) / (x + 1)(x + 2) into partial fractions.

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

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

    Explanation: Using partial fraction decomposition: (2x + 3) / (x + 1)(x + 2) = A / (x + 1) + B / (x + 2), then solving for A and B.
