Partial fractions Integration - Distributing Coefficients

Given the following Integral $\int \frac{2x^3+ 2x^2+ 2x+ 1}{x^2 (x^2+1)}$ I would expand my fractions like the following $\frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x^2}+\frac{Cx+D}{x^2+1}$ When I look at the ...

Integration by partial-fractions, I´m stuck in this one.

I don´t really know how get the factors in the denominator which allow me to use a case $\int\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-x} dx$

How to solve certain types of integrals

I'm asking for a walk through of integrals in the form: $$\int \frac{a(x)}{b(x)}\,dx$$ where both $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are polynomials in their lowest terms. For instance $$\int \frac{x^3+2x}{x^2+1}\,dx$...

Partial Fractions - $\frac{x^3}{x^2 + 12x +36}$

Ok, so I know that since the numerator has a higher power that long division is needed. So after doing that, the main fraction is $\frac{-6x-36}{x^2 + 12x + 36}$. I think that's right. But my problem ...

Evaluate $\int{\frac{4x}{(x^2-1)(x-1)}dx}$

So I know I need to use the partial fractions method to solve this integral. However when I split it as: $$\frac{4x}{(x^2-1)(x-1)} = \frac{Ax + B}{x^2-1} + \frac{C}{x-1}$$ I find that I can't solve ...
