Work Step by Step

$Step_{1}$- Set up a partial fraction decomposition with the unknown constants. $A, B, C, D$, and so on. $Step_{2}$-Multiply both sides of the resulting equation by the least common denominator. $Step_{3}$-Simplify the right side of the equation. $Step_{4}$-Write both sides in descending powers, equate coefficient of like terms of $x$ and equate constant terms $Step_{5}$-Solve the resulting system for $A,B,C,D$ $Step_{6}$-substitute the values of $A,B,C,D$ and write the partial fraction decomposition
