...is lx° ; and x° must be supplied in the second member, with the coefficient 0. Hence, by equating the coefficients of the like powers of x, in the two members, we should have 1 = 0; 3A=Q; 3B-A=Q; &c. Now, the result 1=0, is impossible ; and hence the given fraction... | |

...the form A+Bx + Cxz+, etc.=A'+B'x+C'z2 + , etc., must be satisfied for each and every value given to x, then the coefficients of the like powers of x in the two members are equal each to each. For, since this equation must be satisfied for every value of -x, it must be satisfied when x=0. But... | |
