I found an interesting question but I keep getting stuck in a loop. [closed]

Find all values of A, B, C and C such that: $$ \frac{x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-2)} = \frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{B}{x+2} + \frac{C}{(x-2)^2} $$ I keep getting into a loop in which: $$ x - 1 = Ax^2 - 4Ax + 4A + Bx^2 ...

Partial Fraction Expansion of $12\frac{x^3+4}{(x^2-1)(x^2+3x+2)}$

Find the vector $(A,B,C,D)$ if $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ are the coefficients of the partial fractions expansion of $$12\frac{x^3+4}{(x^2-1)(x^2+3x+2)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x+2} + \frac{C}{x+1} + \...

Separating addition terms in denominator

If I have a fraction such as: $\frac{1+d(6-4a)}{1-a+d(7-4a)}$ then how can I separate it so I have it as $\frac{1}{1-a}+(some-term)$ Thanks.

problem with partial fraction decomposition

I want to do partial fraction decomposition on the following rational function: $$\frac{1}{x^2(1+x^2)^3}$$ So I proceed as follows: $$\begin{align} \frac{1}{x^2(1+x^2)^3} &= \frac{A}{x} + \frac{...
