To express \(\frac{4x^2 - 13x + 13}{(2x - 1)(x - 3)}\) in partial fractions, we start by assuming:
\(\frac{4x^2 - 13x + 13}{(2x - 1)(x - 3)} = \frac{A}{2x - 1} + \frac{B}{x - 3}\)
Multiply through by \((2x - 1)(x - 3)\) to clear the denominators:
\(4x^2 - 13x + 13 = A(x - 3) + B(2x - 1)\)
Expanding both sides gives:
\(4x^2 - 13x + 13 = Ax - 3A + 2Bx - B\)
Combine like terms:
\(4x^2 - 13x + 13 = (A + 2B)x - (3A + B)\)
Equating coefficients, we get:
\(A + 2B = -13\)
\(-3A - B = 13\)
Solving these equations simultaneously, we find:
\(A = 2\), \(B = -3\)
Thus, the partial fraction decomposition is:
\(\frac{4x^2 - 13x + 13}{(2x - 1)(x - 3)} = \frac{2}{2x - 1} + \frac{-3}{x - 3}\)
Alternatively, dividing the numerator by the denominator gives:
\(2 + \frac{-x + 7}{(2x - 1)(x - 3)}\)
