  • The best way to do partial fractions is NOT to do partial fractions. Learn how we can do the integral of x^2/(x^4-1) and the integral of 1/(x^4-x) without doing the "traditional partial fraction decomposition". Here's the setup for the usual way to do partial fractions: • Ultimate Partial Fract...

    any partial fraction problem can be done by multiplying the top and bottom by a specific expression (but it’s very hard to find the expression without knowing the solution)

    The answer to the first one is only defined between x=-1 and x=1 no? Would be interesting to see the solutions outside this bound, they will of course be independant of each other but still

    Hyperbolic trig functions weren’t covered very much in my Calc 1 and 2 classes (currently in Calc 2, textbook is ETF 7e, just got done with improper integrals and partial fractions). I think I’ll just stick with partial fractions

    • @bjornfeuerbacher5514
      @bjornfeuerbacher5514 Před 4 měsíci

      Hyperbolic functions are really both fun and useful. E. g. you can also do integrals with square roots of (1+x²) by using the substitution x = sinh(u).

    Can i do something else to the first one without adding Hyperbolic Function? And no partial function

    • @bjornfeuerbacher5514
      @bjornfeuerbacher5514 Před 4 měsíci

      You could repeat the trick: 1/(x²-1) = 1/2 2/(x+1)(x-1) = 1/2 ( (x+1) - (x-1) ) / (x+1)(x-1) = 1/2 ( 1/(x-1) - 1/(x+1) ).
      Which obviously gives the same result as a PFD.

    I may be wrong but how can u in the second problem be negative? I thought 1 - 1/(x^3) is always positive.

    • @leickrobinson5186
      @leickrobinson5186 Před 2 lety +1

      Try a few values and see. Let’s try x=0.5.
      (0.5)^3 = 0.125 = 1/8
      1 - 1/((0.5)^3) = 1 - 8 = -7
      So, it’s not always positive. :-D

    • @Pankaw
      @Pankaw Před 2 lety +1

      Well, if 0 < x ≤ 1, then 1/x³ ≥ 1
      and 1 - 1/x³ ≤ 0

    Love watching ypur videos, however I think you were wrong on the first integral. I checked it using an online integral calculator and the result was -ln(abs(x+1))/4+arctan(x)/2+ln(abs(x-1))/4

    • @polpatrol5215
      @polpatrol5215 Před 2 lety +2

      I know why: integral of 1/(x^2-1) is not arctangent but it is a natural logarithm. You can check it yourself it is a formula.
