Prompt Write a five-paragraph essay that compares the leadership style of a modern-day world leader to Machiavelli's ideas about effective
leadership as set forth in The Prince. Machiavelli said that leaders should "proceed in a temperate manner with prudence and
humanity." Choose a world leader and discuss how this leader does or does not represent Machiavelli's ideas in action. Describe
specific decisions that the leader has made, and analyze how they compare and contrast with Machiavelli's thinking in The Prince.
Be sure to cite the sources of your information below the essay.

Evaluate 8x2 + 9x − 1 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x dx. solution since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, we don't need to divide. we factor the denominator as 2x3 + 3x2 − 2x = x(2x2 + 3x − 2) = x(2x − 1)(x + 2). since the denominator has three distinct linear factors, the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand has the form† 8x2 + 9x − 1 x(2x − 1)(x + 2) = correct: your answer is correct. to determine the values of a, b, and c, we multiply both sides of this equation by the product of the denominators, x(2x − 1)(x + 2), obtaining 8x2 + 9x − 1 = a correct: your answer is correct. (x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + cx(2x − 1).
