Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/345006: i need to find the constant values of A B and C ? i tried substituting x=-1 and got: -6B + 2C = 18 (but i think thats wrong, and dont know what to do from there) I also worked out that B=2 substititing x=-3 into the equation but i dont know how to work out A and C, maybe use the coefficient of x^2 but i cant work out how to do that? 1 solutions Answer 246832 by Fombitz(13828)   on 2010-09-19 08:57:49 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to expand all of the products and get one big equation. Then match the coefficients of the terms. So now you have three equations with three unknowns. Solve for A,B,C using substitution, elimination, or matrix methods. Re-post if you need more help.
