Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{7x^{2}-9x+3}{(x^{2}+7)^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}x+B}{x^{2}+7}+\frac{Cx+D}{(x^{2}+7)^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

The factor $(x^{2}+7)$ is a repeated quadratic factor, see p.548. Repeated Prime Quadratic Factor In the Denominator Include one partial fraction with a $linear$ numerator for each $power$ of a prime, repeated quadratic factor in the denominator Setup only: $\displaystyle \frac{7x^{2}-9x+3}{(x^{2}+7)^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}x+B}{x^{2}+7}+\frac{Cx+D}{(x^{2}+7)^{2}}$
