whereb 3 ,b 2 , and b 1 are determined as follows. By multiplying both sides of this last
equation by (s+1)^3 , we have
(B–2)
Then letting s=–1, Equation (B–2) gives
Also, differentiation of both sides of Equation (B–2) with respect to syields
(B–3)
If we let s=–1in Equation (B–3), then
By differentiating both sides of Equation (B–3) with respect to s, the result is
From the preceding analysis it can be seen that the values of b 3 ,b 2 , and b 1 are found
