Question 201367: I need help with this problem:
What is the value of k if
1/(x-2)(x+4)=h/(x-2)+k/(x+4)?
Answer choices: A.2, B.-4, C.-1/6, D.1/6, E.-2
What I have done so far is: multiply to create a common denominator, which leaves me with:
1=hx+kx+4h-2k
Is this correct so far?
If so, how do I continue, and if not, what should I have done instead?
