Solution

The expression you provided, "(x^2 -2x +30)/(x^2 - 10x +24)", is not factorable into simpler fractions, so it cannot be decomposed into partial fractions.

Partial fraction decomposition is a process used to break down more complex fractions into a sum of simpler fractions. It is typically used when dealing with rational functions, which are functions that can be expressed as the ratio of two polynomials.

However, in this case, the numerator and denominator of your fraction are both quadratic polynomials, but they cannot be factored into simpler polynomials over the real numbers. Therefore, we cannot perform partial fraction decomposition on this expression.

If the denominator could be factored into linear factors or irreducible quadratic factors, then we could use partial fractions. But in this case, the denominator is (x-4)(x-6), which are linear factors, but the numerator cannot be factored into simpler terms.

So, the expression is already in its simplest form.
