  1. Question 1

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

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

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

    Explanation: Using partial fraction decomposition for repeated linear factors: 1 / x(x + 1)² = A / x + B / (x + 1) + C / (x + 1)².
