8.4 Partial Fraction Decomposition

Contemporary Calculus
8.4 PARTIAL FRACTION DECOMPOSITION
Rational functions (polynomials divided by polynomials) and their integrals are important in mathematics
and applications, but if you look through a table of integral formulas, you will find very few formulas for
their integrals. Partly that is because the general formulas are rather complicated and have many special
cases, and partly it is because they can all be reduced to just a few cases using the algebraic technique
discussed in this section, Partial Fraction Decomposition.
In algebra you learned to add rational functions to get a single rational function. Partial Fraction
Decomposition is a technique for reversing that procedure to "decompose" a single rational function into a
sum of simpler rational functions. Then the integral of the single rational function can be evaluated as the
sum of the integrals of the simpler functions.
Example 1:
Solution:
Use the algebraic decomposition
17x – 35
2
2x – 5x
7
3
= x + 2x – 5 to evaluate
⌠
⌡ 17x2– 35 dx .
2x – x
The decomposition allows us to exchange the original integral for two much easier ones:
17x – 35
7
3
⌠
⌡ 2
⌡ x + 2x – 5 dx
dx = ⌠
2x – 5x
=

3
⌠
⌡ x dx + ⌠
⌡ 2x – 5 dx

= 7ln| x | + 2 ln| 2x – 5 | + C .
Practice 1:
Use the algebraic decomposition
7x – 11
4
1
= 3x + 1 + x – 3 to evaluate
2
3x –8x–3
⌠ 7x2 – 11 dx .
⌡
3x –8x–3
The Example illustrates how to use a "decomposed" fraction with integrals, but it does not show how to
achieve the decomposition. The algebraic basis for the Partial Fraction Decomposition technique is that every
polynomial can be factored into a product of linear factors ax + b and irreducible quadratic factors
2
2
ax + bx + c (with b – 4ac < 0). These factors may not be easy to find , and they will typically be more
complicated than the examples in this section, but every polynomial has such factors. Before we apply the
Partial Fraction Decomposition technique, the fraction must have the following form:
(i) (the degree of the numerator) < (degree of the denominator)
(ii) The denominator has been factored into a product of linear factors and irreducible quadratic factors.
8.4 Partial Fraction Decomposition
2
Contemporary Calculus
If assumption (i) is not true, we can use polynomial division until we get a remainder which has a smaller
degree than the denominator. If assumption (ii) is not true, we simply cannot use the Partial Fraction
Decomposition technique.
Example 2:
Put each fraction into a form for Partial Fraction Decomposition:
2
3
2x + 4x – 6
(a)
2
x – 2x
2
3x – 3x – 9x + 8
(b)
2

2
7x + 12x – 12
(c)
3
x – 4x
2
2x + 4x – 6
8x – 6
8x – 6
Solution: (a)
= 2+ 2
= 2 + x(x – 2)
2
x – 2x
x – 2x
3
2
(b)
3x – 3x – 9x + 8
9x + 8
9x + 8
= 3x + 2
= 3x + (x + 2)(x – 3)
2
x –x–6
x –x–6
(c)
7x + 12x – 12
7x + 12x – 12
= x(x + 2)(x – 2)

2
Distinct Linear Factors
If the denominator can be factored into a product of distinct linear factors, then the original fraction can be
number
written as the sum of fractions of the form linear factor . Our job is to find the values of the numbers in
the numerators, and that typically requires solving a system of equations.
17x – 35
Example 3: Find values for A and B so x(2x – 5)
A
B
= x + 2x – 5 .
Solution: We can combine the two terms on the right by putting them over the common denominator x(2x
A
2x – 5
B
x
– 5). Multiplying the x term by 2x – 5 and multiplying the 2x–5 term by x , we have
A
x
Since
–5
B .x
A2x – 5A + Bx
(2A + B)x – 5A

2x – 5 + 2x – 5 x =
x(2x – 5)
x(2x – 5)
(2A + B)x – 5A
17x – 35
= x(2x – 5) , the coefficients of like terms in the numerators must be equal:
x(2x – 5)
coefficients of x:
2A + B = 17
constant terms:
–5A
= –35
Solving this system of two equations with two unknowns, we get A = 7 and B = 3 so
17x – 35
x(2x – 5)
7
3
= x + 2x – 5 .

As a check, add x

and verify that the sum is x(2x – 5) .
Practice 2: Find values of A and B so
6x – 7
(x + 3)(x – 2)
A
B
= x+3 + x–2 .
In general, there is one unknown coefficient for each distinct linear factor of the denominator. However, if
the number of distinct linear factors is large, we would need to solve a large system of equations for the
unknowns.

Example 4:
Solution:

A (x+1)(x+3)
B x(x+3)
C x(x+1)
= x (x+1)(x+3) + (x + 1) x(x+3) + (x + 3) x(x+1)
=
A(x+1)(x+3) + Bx(x+3) + Cx(x+1)
x(x + 1)(x + 3)
2
=
2
(A + B + C)x + (4A + 3B + C)x + (3A)
2x + 7x + 9
= x(x + 1)(x + 3) .
x(x + 1)(x + 3)
The coefficients of the like terms in the numerators must be equal:
2
coefficients of x :
A
+B

=2
coefficients of x:
4A + 3B + C

constant terms:

so A = 3, B = –2, and C = 1 .

Finally, x(x + 1)(x + 3) = x + x + 1 + x + 3 .

The next two subsections describe how to decompose fractions whose denominators contain irreducible
quadratic factors and repeated factors. We will not discuss why the suggestions work except to note that
they provide enough, but not too many, unknown coefficients for the decomposition.
8.4 Partial Fraction Decomposition

Contemporary Calculus
Distinct Irreducible Quadratic Factors
If the factored denominator includes a distinct irreducible quadratic factor, then the Partial Fraction
Decomposition sum contains a fraction of the form of a linear polynomial with unknown coefficients
divided by the irreducible quadratic factor:
linear polynomial
irreducible quadratic factor
Ax + B
or irreducible quadratic factor .
Once again we will solve a system of equations to find the values of the unknown coefficients A and B.

Example 5:
Solution:
Find values for A, B, and C so
Ax + B

( xx ) + Cx ( xx2 ++ 2x
)
2x + 5
2
=
Ax + Bx + Cx + 2Cx + 5C
2
x(x + 2x + 5)
=
(A + C)x + (B + 2C)x + 5C
2
x(x + 2x + 5)
2
2
=
x + 3x – 15
2
(x + 2x + 5)x
.
Then A + C = 1, B + 2C = 3, and 5C = –15 so C = – 3, B = 9, and A = 4.
In general, there are 2 unknown coefficients for each distinct irreducible quadratic factor of the
denominator. We would start the decomposition of
3
2
6x + 36x + 50x + 53
2
2
(x + 4)(x + 4x + 5)
by writing it as the sum
Ax + B
Cx + D
+ 2
.
2
x +4
x + 4x + 5
We would finish this decomposition by solving the system of 4 equations with 4 unknowns, A + C = 6, 4A
+ B + D = 36, 5A + 4B + 4C = 50, and 5B + 4D = 53 to get A = 6, B = 5, C = 0, and D = 7.
Repeated Factors
If the factored denominator contains a linear factor raised to a power (greater than one), then we need to
start the decomposition with several terms. There should be one term with one unknown coefficient for
each power of the linear factor. For example,
something
A
B
C

Similarly, if the factored denominator contains an irreducible quadratic factor raised to a power greater than
one), then we need to start the decomposition with several terms. There should be one term with two
unknown coefficients for each power of the irreducible quadratic. For example,

The primary use of the partial fraction technique in this course is to put rational functions in a form that is
easier to integrate, but this algebraic technique can also be used to simplify the differentiation of some
rational functions. The next example illustrates the use of partial fractions to make a differentiation
problem easier.

rewrite f as f(x) = x – 1 – x + 2 = 5(x – 1) – 3(x + 2) . Then the derivatives are very

The following two applications involve a type of differential equation which can be solved by separating
the variables and using a partial fraction decomposition to help calculate the antiderivatives. The same type
of differential equation is also used to model the spread of rumors and diseases as well as some populations
and chemical reactions.
Logistic Growth: The growth rate of many different populations depends not only on the number of
individuals (leading to exponential growth) but also on a "carrying capacity" of the environment. If
x is the population at time t and the growth
rate of x is proportional to the product of the
population and the carrying capacity M
minus the population, then the growth rate is
described by the differential equation
dx
. .
dt = k x (M – x)
where k and M are constants for a given
species in a given environment.

(d) What is the population when the growth rate is largest?
Chemical Reaction: In some chemical reactions, a new material X is formed from materials A and B,
and the rate at which X forms is proportional to the product of the amount of A and the amount of
B remaining in the solution. Let x represent the amount of material X present at time t, and assume
that the reaction begins with a grams of A, b grams of B, and no material X ( x(0) = 0 ). Then the
rate of formation of material X can be described by the differential equation
dx
dt = k(a – x)(b – x).
dx

8.5 Trigonometric Substitution –– Another Change of Variable
Changing the variable is a very powerful technique for finding antiderivatives, and by now you have
probably found a lot of integrals by setting u = something. This section also involves a change of variable,
but for more specialized patterns, and the change is more complicated. Another difference from previous
work is that instead of setting u equal to a function of x we will be replacing x with a function of θ.
The next three examples illustrate the typical steps involved making trigonometric substitutions. After
these examples, we examine each step in more detail and consider how to make the appropriate decisions.
Example 1:
Solution:
In the expression
9–x
2
replace x with 3 sin(θ) and simplify the result.
Replacing x with 3sin(θ),
9 – ( 3sin(θ) )
Example 2:
Evaluate
2

9 – 9sin (θ) =
becomes
9.(1 – sin (θ) ) = 3 cos(θ) .
2
⌠
⌡ 9 – x2 dx using the change of variable x = 3 sin(θ) and then use the
3
antiderivative to evaluate
⌠ 9 – x2 dx.
⌡
0
Solution:
2
If x = 3 sin(θ), then dx = 3 cos(θ) dθ and
9 – x = 3 cos(θ). With this change of
variable, the integral becomes
⌠
⌡ 9 – x2 dx
=
θ sin(2θ)
⌠
} +C
⌡ 3 cos(θ) 3 cos(θ) dθ = 9 ⌠
⌡ cos2(θ) dθ = 9 { 2 – 4
θ 2sin(θ)cos(θ)
9
= 9{2 –
} + C = 2 { θ – sin(θ)cos(θ) } + C
4
This antiderivative, a function of the variable θ, can be converted back to a function of the variable x.
Since x = 3 sin(θ) we can solve for θ to get θ = arcsin( x/3 ). Replacing θ with arcsin( x/3 ) in
the antiderivative, we get
9
2
{ θ – sin(θ)cos(θ) } + C

Each Trigonometric Substitution involves four major steps:
1.
Choose which substitution to make, x = a trigonomteric function of θ .
2.
Rewrite the original integral in terms of θ and dθ .
3.
Find an antiderivative of the new integral.
4.
Write the antiderivative in step 3 in terms of the original variable x.
The rest of this section discusses each of these steps. The first step requires you to make a decision. Then
the other three steps follow from that decision. For most students, the key to success with the
Trigonometric Substitution technique is to THINK TRIANGLES.
Step 1: Choosing the substitution
The first step requires that you make a decision, and the pattern of the familiar Pythagorean Theorem can
help you make the correct choice.
Pythagorean Theorem:
2
2
2
2
2
The pattern 3 + x matches the Pythagorean pattern if 3 and
x are sides of a right triangle. For a right triangle with sides 3
and x (Fig. 2), we know tan( θ ) = opposite/adjacent = x/3 so
x = 3 tan( θ ).
2
2
2
(side) + (side) = (hypotenuse) or (side) = (hypotenuse) – (side) .
8.5 Trigonometric Substitution
2
3
Contemporary Calculus
2
The pattern 3 – x matches the Pythagorean pattern if 3 is the
hypotenuse and x is a side of a right triangle (Fig. 3). Then
sin( θ ) = opposite/hypotenuse = x/3 so x = 3 sin( θ ).
2
2
The pattern x – 3 matches the Pythagorean pattern if x is the
hypotenuse and 3 is a side of a right triangle (Fig. 4). Then
sec( θ ) = hypotenuse/adjacent = x/3 so x = 3 sec( θ ).
Once the choice has been made for the substitution, then several things follow automatically:
dx
can be calculated by differentiating x with respect to θ ,
θ
can be found by solving the substitution equation for θ ,
( if x = 3 tan( θ ) then tan( θ ) = x/3 so θ = arctan( x/3 ) ) , and
2
2
2
2
2
2
the patterns 3 + x , 3 – x , and x – 3 can be simplified using algebra and the
2
2
2
2
2
2
trigonometric identities 1 + tan (θ) = sec (θ), 1 – sin (θ) = cos (θ), and sec (θ) – 1 = tan (θ).

Contemporary Calculus
2
Solution: 16 – x : This matches the Pythagorean pattern if 4 is a hypotenuse and x is the side of a right
triangle. Then sin( θ ) = opposite/hypotenuse = x/4 so x = 4 sin( θ ) . For x = 4 sin(θ), dx
= 4 cos(θ) dθ and θ = arcsin( x/4 ). Finally,
2
2
2
2
2
16 – x = 16 – ( 4 sin(θ) ) = 16 – 16sin (θ) = 16( 1 – sin (θ) ) = 16 cos (θ) .
2
5 + x : This matches the Pythagorean pattern if x and
5
are the sides of a right triangle. Then
tan( θ ) = opposite/adjacent = x/ 5 so x = 5 tan( θ ) . For x = 5 tan(θ), dx = 5
2
sec (θ) dθ and θ = arctan( x/ 5 ). Finally,
2
2
2
2
2
5 + x = 5 + ( 5 tan(θ) ) = 5 + 5 tan (θ) = 5( 1 + tan (θ) ) = 5 sec (θ) .

For the patterns 25 + x and x – 13, (a) decide on the appropriate substitution for x,
(b) calculate dx and θ , and (c) use the substitution to simplify the pattern.
Step 2: Rewriting the integral in terms of θ and dθ
Once we decide on the appropriate substitution, calculate dx , and simplify the the pattern, then the second
step is very straightforward.

Finding an antiderivative of the new integral & writing the answer in terms of x
After changing the variable, the new integral typically involves trigonometric functions and we can use any
of our previous methods (a change of variable, integration by parts, a trigonometric identity, or the integral
tables) to find an antiderivative.
8.5 Trigonometric Substitution
5
Contemporary Calculus
Once we have an antiderivative, usually a trigonometric function of θ , we can replace θ with the
appropriate inverse trigonometric function of x and simplify. Since the antiderivatives commonly contain
trigonometric functions, we frequently need to simplify a trigonometric function of an inverse
trigonometric function, and it is very helpful to refer back to the right triangle we used at the beginning of
the substitution process.
Example 6:
By replacing x with 5 tan(θ) ,
becomes
1
⌠
⌡
25 + x
2
dx
⌠
⌡ sec(θ) dθ . Evaluate ⌠
⌡ sec(θ) dθ and write the
resulting antiderivative in terms of the variable x.
Solution:
x = 5 tan(θ) so θ = arctan( x/5 ) (Fig. 5). Then
⌠
⌡ sec(θ) dθ = ln| sec(θ) + tan(θ) | + C
= ln| sec( arctan(x/5) ) + tan( arctan(x/5) ) | + C
By referring to the right triangle in Fig. 5, we see that
sec( arctan(x/5) ) =
25 + x
5
2
x
and tan( arctan(x/5) ) = 5
25 + x
5
|
ln| sec( arctan(x/5) ) + tan( arctan(x/5) ) | + C= ln
Putting these pieces together, we have

THINK TRIANGLES. The first and last steps of the method (choosing the substitution and writing the answer
interms of x) are easier if you understand the triangles (Figures 2, 3, and 4) and have drawn the appropriate
triangle for the problem. Of course, you also need to practice the method.

8.6 Integrals of Trigonometric Functions
There are an overwhelming number of combinations of trigonometric functions which appear in integrals,
but fortunately they fall into a few patterns and most of their integrals can be found using reduction
formulas and tables of integrals. This section examines some of the patterns of these combinations and
illustrates how some of their integrals can be derived.
Products of Sine and Cosine:
⌠
⌡ sin(ax).sin(bx) dx , ⌠
⌡ cos(ax). cos(bx) dx , ⌠
⌡ sin(ax).cos(bx) dx
All of these integrals are handled by referring to the trigonometric identities for sine and cosine of sums
and differences:
sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
sin(A – B) = sin(A)cos(B) – cos(A)sin(B)
cos(A + B) = cos(A)cos(B) – sin(A)sin(B)
cos(A – B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B)
By adding or subtracting the appropriate pairs of identities, we can write the various products such as
sin(ax)cos(bx) as a sum or difference of single sines or cosines. For example, by adding the first two
1
identities we get 2sin(A)cos(B) = sin(A + B) + sin(A – B) so sin(A)cos(B) = 2 { sin(A+B) + sin(A–B)
}. Using this last identity, the integral of sin(ax)cos(bx) for a ≠ b is relatively easy:
–cos( (a–b)x )
–cos( (a+b)x )
⌠

+
} + C.

The other integrals of products of sine and cosine follow in a similar manner.

cos (ax) =

and

All of these antiderivatives can be found using integration by parts or the reduction formulas (formulas 19
and 20 in the integral tables) which were derived using integration by parts. For small values of m and n
it is just as easy to find the antiderivatives directly.

For even powers of sine or cosine, we can successfully reduce the size of the exponent by repeatedly

sec (x) = tan (x) + 1, and make the change of variable u = tan(x) (then du = sec (x) dx ).

2
2
tangent using tan (x) = sec (x) – 1, and make the change of variable u = sec(x) (then du = sec(x)tan(x) dx ).
If the exponent of secant is odd and the exponent of tangent is even, replace the even powers of tangent
2

using tan (x) = sec (x) – 1. Then the integral contains only powers of secant, and we can use the patterns

The definite integrals of various combinations of sine and cosine on the interval [0, 2π] exhibit a
number of interesting patterrns. For now these patterns are simply curiousities and a source of additional
problems for practice, but the patterns are very important as the foundation for an applied topic, Fourier
Series, that you may encounter in more advanced courses.
The next three problems ask you to show that the definite integral on [0, 2π] of sin(mx) multiplied by almost
any other combination of sin(nx) or cos(nx) is 0. The only nonzero value comes when sin(mx) is multiplied
by itself.
