${{{x^2} + 13x + 15} \over {(2x + 3)\,{{(x + 3)}^2}}} = $

A

${1 \over {x + 3}} - {1 \over {2x + 3}} + {5 \over {{{(x + 3)}^2}}}$

B

${1 \over {2x + 3}} - {1 \over {x + 3}} + {5 \over {{{(x + 3)}^2}}}$

C

${1 \over {2x + 3}} + {1 \over {x + 3}} - {5 \over {{{(x + 3)}^2}}}$

D

${1 \over {2x + 3}} - {1 \over {x + 3}} - {5 \over {{{(x + 3)}^2}}}$

Solution

(a) ${{{x^2} + 13x + 15} \over {(2x + 3)\,{{(x + 3)}^2}}} = {A \over {2x + 3}} + {B \over {x + 3}} + {C \over {{{(x + 3)}^2}}}$

==> ${x^2} + 13x + 15 = A{(x + 3)^2} + B(2x + 3)\,(x + 3) + C(2x + 3)$

For $x = – 3,\,C = 5$ and for $x = – {3 \over 2};\,A = – 1$

Equating coefficient of ${x^2}$

$1 = A + 2B \Rightarrow B = {{1 – A} \over 2} = 1$

$\therefore $ Given expression = ${1 \over {x + 3}} – {1 \over {2x + 3}} + {5 \over {{{(x + 3)}^2}}}$.
