# Integration by Partial Fraction Decomposition
applies to rational functions
This technique relies on *The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra*, which states:
1. Every polynomial of degree $n$ has $n$ roots, which implies that…
2. Every polynomial of degree $n$ can be factored into a product of $n$ linear terms
$\frac{A}{B} + \frac{C}{D} = \frac{AD + BC}{BD}$
