Partial Fraction Calculator

Partial fraction decomposition is a technique used to break down a complex rational function (a fraction of two polynomials) into a sum of simpler fractions. This process makes the expression much easier to work with, especially for operations in calculus.

When is This Used?

• Integral Calculus: This is the most common use. Integrating a complex function can be very difficult, but integrating the sum of its simpler partial fractions is often straightforward.
• Laplace Transforms: In engineering and physics, this method is used to find the inverse Laplace transform, which is crucial for solving linear differential equations.
