If $\frac{x^2+5 x+7}{(x-3)^3}+\frac{A}{(x-3)}+\left[\frac{B}{(x-3)^2}+\frac{C}{(x-3)^3}\right.$, then the equation of the line having slope $A$ and passing through the point $(B, C)$ is
  1. $x+y-20=0$
  2. $x-y+20=0$
  3. $x+y+20=0$
  4. $x-y-20=0$

Solution

We have, $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{x^2+5 x+7}{(x-3)^3}=\frac{A}{x-3}+\frac{B}{(x-3)^2}+\frac{C}{(x-3)^3} \\ \Rightarrow x^2+5 x+7 & =A(x-3)^2+B(x-3)+C \end{aligned} $ Put $x=3$ in Eq. (i), we get $ \begin{array}{rlrl} 9+15+7 & =C \\ \Rightarrow & & C & =31 \end{array} $ Put $x=0$ in Eq. (i), we get $ \begin{aligned} & 7=9 A-3 B+31 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 9 A-3 B=-24 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 3 A-B=-8 \\ & \end{aligned} $ Put $x=1$ in Eq. (i), we get $ \begin{aligned} & 1+5+7=4 A-2 B+31 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 13=4 A-2 B+31 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4 A-2 B=-18 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2 A-B=-9 \\ & \text { On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get } \\ & A=1 \\ & \text { and } \\ & B=11 \\ & \end{aligned} $ ∴ Equation of line having slope A and pass ing through the points (B, C) is y − 31 = 1(x − 11) y − 31 = x − 11 x − y + 20 = 0
