A store receives a shipment of 5,000 MP3 players. In a previous shipment of 5,000 MP3 players, 300 were
defective. A store clerk generates random numbers to simulate a random sample of this shipment. The
clerk lets the numbers 1 through 300 represent defective MP3 players, and the numbers 301 through
5,000 represent working MP3 players. The results are given.

Evaluate 8x2 + 9x − 1 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x dx. solution since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide. we factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x = x(2x2 + 3x − 2) = x(2x − 1)(x + 2). since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand has the form† 8x2 + 9x − 1 x(2x − 1)(x + 2) = correct: your answer is correct. to determine the values of a, b, and c, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of the denominators, x(2x − 1)(x + 2), obtaining 8x2 + 9x − 1 = a correct: your answer is correct. (x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + cx(2x − 1).
