In this video I run through a few examples of how to use the technique of Partial Fractions to integrate rational functions.
A very layered topic and a commonly assessed one because of this!
I go fairly in depth into the first example just to really solidify how each step of the process works down to a fundamental algebra level so, if you're unsure of simultaneous equations or cross multiplying, this may help greatly!
Also I make two silly mistakes in this but I have noted where and do eventually fix them. Please don't tell on me, I need this job.
