Line 1: Line 1:
* I didn't get the right answer according to the back of the book. I got:
 
  
<math>x + 4 = Ax + A + Bx - 6B = (A + B)x + A - 6B</math>
 
 
Meaning:
 
 
<math>A + B = 1</math> 
 
 
and
 
 
<math>A - 6B = 4</math>
 
 
So, <math>A = \frac{10}{7}</math>  and  <math>B = -\frac{3}{7}</math>
 
 
The answer in the back of the book is
 
 
<math>\frac{1}{7}\ln{|(x+6)^2(x-1)^5|}+C</math>
