- Environmental Science The predicted cost C (in thousands of dollars) for a company to remove p of a chemical from its waste water is given by the model C=120p10000p2,0p100. Write the partial fraction decomposition for the rational function. Verify your result by using a graphing utility to create a table comparing the original function with the partial fractions.arrow_forwardFind the partial fraction decomposition of the expression with a nonrepeating irreducible quadratic factor. 5x26x+7(x1)(x2+1)arrow_forwardHOW DO YOU SEE IT? Identify the graph of the rational function and the graph representing each partial fraction of its partial fraction decomposition. Then state any relationship between the vertical asymptotes of the graph of the rational function and the vertical asymptotes of the graphs representing the partial fractions of the decomposition.
