H. heaviside s Cover-up MethodThe cover-up method was introduced by Oliver heaviside as a fast way to do a decom-position into partial fractions. This is an essential step in using the Laplace transform tosolve differential equations, and this was more or less heaviside s original cover-up method can be used to make a partial fractions decomposition of a rationalfunctionp(x)q(x)whenever the denominator can be factored into distinct linear first show how the method works on a simple example, and thenshow why it 7(x 1)(x+ 2)into partial know the answer will have the form(1)x 7(x 1)(x+ 2)=Ax 1+Bx+ determineAby the cover-up method, on the left-hand side we mentally remove (or coverup with a finger)
