Partial fraction decomposition

Partial fraction decomposition can be used to simplify a complex algebraic fraction, especially for the sake of integration, into a number of simpler partial fractions that are more easily dealt with.

Cases

Denominator with distinct linear factors

Repeated linear factors

Irreducible factor

Note that the numerator is always one degree lower than the denominator.
