Exercise 1.3




Before solving partial fractions. You need to be quick in solving linear and simultaneous equations.
Revision Exercise 1.1
Solve the following simultaneous equations
(1)
3x + y = 4
2x + 3y = 5
(2)
x + y = 2
2x + 3y = 5
(3)
3x - y = 2
2x + 3y = 5
Revision Exercise 1.2
Solve the following linear equations
(1) 3x - 1 = 3
(2) -2x - 1 = -3
(3) -3x + 1 = 4
(4) 2x + 1 = -3
Addition and subtraction of fractions
Revision Exercise 1.3
(1) 2/3 + 1
(2) 1 - 4/6
(3) 1 + 4/6
(4) 5/7 - 3/4
(5) 5/7 + 4/6
Using substitution method and solve the following by finding the constants A , B and C.
(1) x - 1 = A(x + 1)+B(x - 2)
(2) x + 1 = A(x - 1)+B(x + 3)
(3) x + 7 = A(x - 3)+B(x + 4)
(4) x + 3 = A(x - 7)+B(x + 7)
(5) x - 3 = A(x - 4)+B(x + 4)
(6) 2x - 1 = A(x - 6)+B(x + 6)
(7) x² - 3x + 5 = A(x - 2)(x + 3) + B(x + 1)(x + 3) + C(x + 1)(x - 2)
(8) 5x² + 25x - 7 = A(x + 5)(x - 7) + B(x + 3)(x -7 3) + C(x + 3)(x + 5)
Revision Exercise 1.4
Expand the following bracket
(1) (x + 3)(x - 3)
(2) (x - 3)(x - 3)
(3)(2x - 3)(x - 2)
(4) (2x + 3)(2x - 3)
Simplify the following
(1) (x + 3)(x - 3) + (x - 3)(x - 3)
(2) (x + 3)(x - 3) + (2x + 3)(2x - 3)
(3) (2x - 3)(x - 2) + (x + 3)(x - 3)
(4) (2x + 3)(2x - 3) + (2x - 3)(x - 2)
Using equating the coeficient method and solve the following by finding the constants A , B and C.
(1) x - 1 = A(x + 1)+B(x - 2)
(2) x + 1 = A(x - 1)+B(x + 3)
(3) x + 7 = A(x - 3)+B(x + 4)
(4) x + 3 = A(x - 7)+B(x + 7)
(5) x - 3 = A(x - 4)+B(x + 4)
(6) 2x - 1 = A(x - 6)+B(x + 6)
(7) x² - 3x + 5 = A(x - 2)(x + 3) + B(x + 1)(x + 3) + C(x + 1)(x - 2)
(8) 5x² + 25x - 7 = A(x + 5)(x - 7) + B(x + 3)(x -7 3) + C(x + 3)(x + 5)
If substitution method does not work than use the equating the coefficient method
