Partial Fractions Decomposition- Partner Activity(16 problems)

This is a collaborative partner activity on partial fractions decomposition. It takes each partner through 8 problems of the following types – rational fraction with denominator

• (ax+b)(cx+d)
• ax^2 +bx +c where the quadratic trinomial can be factored
• (ax+b)^2
• (ax^2 +b)(cx+d)
• (ax+b)(cx+d)^2
• (x+a)(x+b)(x+c)
• x(ax^2 +bx +c) as the quadratic trinomial can not be factored
• (ax^2 +c)^2

Partners corresponding problems are similar (problem 1A is similar to problem 1B, problems 2A is similar to problem 2B and etc).

This activity can also be used as a review in AP Calculus BC or College Calculus 2 before the Techniques of Integration section on Partial Fraction.

Answer keys are included.
