This document provides an introduction to partial fractions. It defines key terms like polynomials, rational functions, and proper and improper fractions. It then outlines the three main cases for splitting a fraction into partial fractions: (1) a linear factor (ax+b), (2) a repeated linear factor, and (3) a quadratic factor (ax^2+bx+c). For each case, it provides an example of how to write the fraction as a sum of partial fractions. It concludes by emphasizing two important checks: (1) the fraction must be proper, and (2) the denominator must be completely factorized before attempting to write it as partial fractions.

The role of wall art in interior designing
The role of wall art in interior designingmeghaark2110 Wall art and wall patterns are not merely decorative elements, but powerful tools in shaping the identity, mood, and functionality of interior spaces. They serve as visual expressions of personality, culture, and creativity, transforming blank and lifeless walls into vibrant storytelling surfaces. Wall art, whether abstract, realistic, or symbolic, adds emotional depth and aesthetic richness to a room, while wall patterns contribute to structure, rhythm, and continuity in design. Together, they enhance the visual experience, making spaces feel more complete, welcoming, and engaging. In modern interior design, the thoughtful integration of wall art and patterns plays a crucial role in creating environments that are not only beautiful but also meaningful and memorable. As lifestyles evolve, so too does the art of wall decor—encouraging innovation, sustainability, and personalized expression within our living and working spaces.
