<p>First, factor the denominator: x2-3x+2 = (x-1)(x-2)</p>
31
<p>First, factor the denominator: x2-3x+2 = (x-1)(x-2)</p>
33
<p>Using partial fraction decomposition: 3x+5 / (x-1)(x-2) = A / x-1 + B / x-2</p>
32
<p>Using partial fraction decomposition: 3x+5 / (x-1)(x-2) = A / x-1 + B / x-2</p>
34
<p>Solve for A and B by equating coefficients or substituting values of x.</p>
33
<p>Solve for A and B by equating coefficients or substituting values of x.</p>
35
<p>3x+5 = A(x-2) + B(x-1)</p>
34
<p>3x+5 = A(x-2) + B(x-1)</p>
36
<p>Solving gives: A = 2, B = 1.</p>
35
<p>Solving gives: A = 2, B = 1.</p>
37
<p>Thus, 3x+5 / x2-3x+2 = 2 / x-1 + 1 / x-2.</p>
