SP5: Unit J Concept 6 - Partial Fraction Decomposition with repeated factors

The student must remember that when there is a repeated factor, they must count up the powers, so if there was (x-1)^3, then the denominator will be split into A/(x-1) + B/(x-1)^2 + C/(x-1)^3. They must also pay attention to how they are FOILing and distributing their numbers so that they don't make any mistakes. Make sure that you care adding/subtracting your like terms correctly.
