Case III - Partial Fractions Decomposition Method:
Case III of the method of decomposition into partial fractions, is defined when the denominator of the fraction is an irreducible second degree polynomial. Remember that these polynomials have two complex conjugate roots. For example, if the denominator is the polynomial {eq}\, x^2+a^2 \, {/eq} the method proposes a fraction of the type: $$\begin{align} \frac{Ax+B}{x^2+a^2} \\[0.3cm] \end{align} \\ $$
