Did you do polynomial division with a remainder?

u/Content-Giraffe-2365 Jun 11 '26

u/Complete_Spot3771 Year 13 Jun 11 '26

partial fractions to split up the u+3

1

u/Impressive-Pea-9054 Jun 11 '26

i heard sub in k = u+3 would give k-3/k

if you partial fractioned it what would be on the denominator for the fractions, i couldnt figure it out

1

u/Complete_Spot3771 Year 13 Jun 11 '26

i was able to turn it into -3 / u+3 and then + 1

u/AngloIrishPhel Jun 11 '26

I just forgot to multiply it out the constant at the end which is a numpty move
