The decomposition seems to work when the denominator is a conjugate pair and the numerator can be reduced to one of those bases... Example: 2^x/((2^x + 5^x)(2^x - 5^x)) = 1/[2(5^x + 2^x)] - 1/[2(5^x - 2^x)] Thanks tiny-tim and Mute, for answering my question. :smile:

Is it possible to use partial fractions on exponential factors? An expression like this for example... 3^x ______________________ (2^x + 3^x)(5^x + 6^x) Would it break down into something like this? A^x/(2^x + 3^x) + B^x/(5^x + 6^x) What are the rules for repeated factors...

Thank you for all your helpful ideas! I think I am going to apply to UCLA and Berkeley as an undergrad. My professors have told me that UC schools are a better choice for people who dream of grad school because they have better research opportunities and a more theoretical approach to academics...

Yes, I'm female. Wow, so it's possible to use my illness to my advantage! I hadn't considered that since I didn't want to come across as a whiner to admissions committees, but my illness is real and it has been a struggle for me to overcome it. I got the highest grade in calculus when I...

I'm a math major who goes to a community college in California. I've gotten the highest grades in all my math classes through differential equations. I have a 4.00 and I have enough units to transfer to a university. I also work as a tutor for the school... but I was never exposed to anything...
