If the third derivative of $\frac{x^4}{(x-1)(x-2)}$ is $\frac{-12k}{(x-2)^4}$ + $\frac{6}{(x-1)^4}$ then the value of k is? [closed]

In the answers I found on google, see this link, they converted the given function into a certain form? What is the process of that conversion (I understand it is a partial fraction of sorts, but how ...

Compute 100th derivative [duplicate]

A friend suggested me a rather tricky problem, namely find the $100^{th}$ derivative of $$ f(x)=\frac{x^2+1}{x^3-x}. $$ I have computed the zeroth derivative $$ \frac{x^2+1}{x^3-x} $$ and the first ...

Unsustainable Populations Differential Equations

I need some help solving this differential equation: $\frac{\text{d}P}{\text{d}t}=kP\left(\frac{A-P}{A}\right)\left(\frac{P-m}{P}\right)$, where $P$ is the population, $t$ is time in years, $A$ is the ...
