Answer

$a.\displaystyle \qquad x^{4}+4x^{2}+16+\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B}{x-2}$ $b.\qquad \displaystyle \frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x-1}+\frac{Cx+D}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{Ex+F}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ The denominator is a difference of squares , $(x-2)(x+2).\\\\$ The numerator has degree grreater than the denominator. Long division: $ \begin{array}{llllll} & x^{4} & +4x^{2} & +16 & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & -- & \\ (x^{2}-4) & )x^{6} & & & & \\ & x^{6} & -4x^{4} & & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & & \\ & & 4x^{4} & & & \\ & & 4x^{4} & -16x^{2} & & \\ & & -- & -- & & \\ & & & 16x^{2} & & \\ & & & 16x^{2} & +64 & \end{array}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x^{6}}{x^{2}-4}=x^{4}+4x^{2}+16+\frac{64}{(x+2)(x-2)}$ $= x^{4}+4x^{2}+16+\displaystyle \frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B}{x-2}$ $b.$ Denominator: $x(x-1)(x^{2}+1)^{2}$ has degree $6$, numerator has $5$. There are repeated factors in the denominator. $\displaystyle \frac{x^{5}+1}{x(x-1)(x^{2}+1)^{2}}= \displaystyle \frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x-1}+\frac{Cx+D}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{Ex+F}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}$
