1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the rational expression 4x9(x2)(x3)\frac{4x-9}{(x-2)(x-3)}.

2. Solution Steps

We want to decompose the rational expression 4x9(x2)(x3)\frac{4x-9}{(x-2)(x-3)} into partial fractions. We assume the form
4x9(x2)(x3)=Ax2+Bx3\frac{4x-9}{(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{A}{x-2} + \frac{B}{x-3}.
Multiplying both sides by (x2)(x3)(x-2)(x-3), we get
4x9=A(x3)+B(x2)4x-9 = A(x-3) + B(x-2).
To find AA, we let x=2x=2. Then
4(2)9=A(23)+B(22)4(2)-9 = A(2-3) + B(2-2), which simplifies to
89=A(1)+08-9 = A(-1) + 0, so 1=A-1 = -A, and thus A=1A=1.
To find BB, we let x=3x=3. Then
4(3)9=A(33)+B(32)4(3)-9 = A(3-3) + B(3-2), which simplifies to
129=0+B(1)12-9 = 0 + B(1), so 3=B3=B, and thus B=3B=3.
Therefore,
4x9(x2)(x3)=1x2+3x3\frac{4x-9}{(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{1}{x-2} + \frac{3}{x-3}.

3. Final Answer

1x2+3x3\frac{1}{x-2} + \frac{3}{x-3}
