Partial Fraction Decomposition with the Ti-84 Plus (CE)
 

Max 4 terms

The Partial fraction decomposition program is a special Ti84 Basic program and very useful for Electrical and mechatronic Engineering (inverse Laplace transformation, integrals). Study the three examples and download the software onto your TI-84 Plus CE, and enjoy. Knowledge of the theory of partial fraction decomposition is required. The program is only a tool to safe time and effort. More information of the theory you can find on :

Take care to use the brackets correctly on your TI and to substitute 1 for N3 and N4 if you have only two fractions, and N4=1 if you have only three fractions.

If you make a wrong choice of the partial fractions, the program will give:" Wrong choice" as result. Be aware that the degree of the denominator  should be greater than the degree of the nominator.

The partial fraction decomposition program can also be used as a step to solve integrals. We give an example of a first fractional function which has to be integrated. Assume next problem.

​The Ti program gives as result a=3,b=5 and therefore (6x+5)/(2x+1)=3 + 2/(2x+1) and

It is clear that the program PARTFRACD.8xpp is a powerful tool.If problems occur, it is advised to install the program ADEFAULT.8xp which cleans up your TI 84.
