= A(x- 1)(x + 2) + B(x + 2) + C(x- 1)2
= A(x2 + 2x-x- 2) + B(x + 2) + C(x2 + 1 - 2x)
= A(x2 + x- 2) + B(x + 2) + C(x2- 2x + 1)
Comparing the co-efficient we get, A + C = 0 ¾ (1)
A + B - 2C = 1 ¾ (2)
- 2A + 2B + C = 0 ¾ (3)
EQn (3) - 2 ´ enQ. (2),
- 2A + 2B + C (2A + 2B - 4C) = 0 - 2 ´ 1.
=> - 4A + 5C = - 2 ¾ (4)
Eqn (4) + 4 ´ Eqn (1) we get,
- 4A + 5C + 4A + 4C = - 2 + 4 ´ 0
=> 9C = - 2

=> x = (Ax + B)(x- 1) + C(x2 + 1)
= Ax2- Ax + Bx- B + Cx2 + C.
Comparing the co-efficients we get,
A + C = 0 ---- (1)
- A + B = 1 ---- (2)
- B + C = 0 ---- (3)
Adding (1) and (2) we get,
A + C - A + B = 0 + 1
=> B + C = 1 --- (4)
Adding (4) + (3) we get,
- B + C + B + C = 0 + 1
=> 2C = 1
And C = B from (3)
So, from Eqn (1),
A = - C

which is not a proper fraction
So, division is missing
=> 2 -x = A(1 - 2x) + B x.
So, - 2A + B = - 1
A = 2.
So, B = - 1 + 2A = - 1 + 2 ´ 2 = - 1 + 4 = 3

2x = A(x + 2) + B(x + 1).
= (A + B) x + (2A + B).
Comparing the coefficients we get,
A + B = 2 ---(1)
2A + B = 0 ---- (2).
So, Eqn (2) - (1),
2A + B - (A + B) = 0 - 2
Þ A = - 2
And B = 2 - A = 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4
B = 4
