What is the purpose of partial fraction decomposition?

• To make rational functions more difficult to solve

• The purpose of partial fraction decomposition is to simplify and solve rational functions by breaking them down into simpler fractions.

• To complicate and confuse rational functions

• To add unnecessary steps to solving rational functions

How do you apply partial fraction decomposition in real-life scenarios?
