What is this about?
-This picture shows an example of partial fraction decomposition with distinct factors. It is an algebraic skill essential to certain aspects for integration in Calculus. While we know how to add fractions together by finding a common denominator, we will learn how to decompose, or break fractions apart.
What does the viewer need to pay special attention to
in order to understand the concept?
-The viewer needs to pay special attention to the steps that this system requires to decompose. These steps include how to multiply parts to find a least common denominator and also how to combine like terms. The viewer also needs to pay attention to how the like terms are taken and made into systems, which can now be solved depending on the number of systems as well as other factors. These methods are algebra 2 skills and matrices.
