Given 3 x - 2 ( x + 1 ) 2 ( x + 3 ) = A x + 1 + B ( x + 1 ) 2 + C x + 3 , then 4 A + 2 B + 4 C

Given 3x-2(x+1)2(x+3)=Ax+1+B(x+1)2+Cx+3, then 4A+2B+4C
  1. 5
  2. -5
  3. -3
  4. 3

Solution

3x-2(x+1)2(x+3)=Ax+1+B(x+1)2+Cx+3

3x-2(x+1)2(x+3)=A(x+1)(x+3)+B(x+3)+C(x+1)2(x+1)2 (x+3)

3x-2=A(x2+3+4x)+B(x+3)+C(x2+1+2x)

Σ of coefficients of x2=0 A+C=0

Σ of coefficients of x=3 4A+B+2C=3

Σ of coefficients of constants=0 3A+3B+C=-2

Equating the three equations, we get

A=-C, B=-25

4A+2B+4C=-5
