Answer

$\dfrac{A}{x+4}+\dfrac{B}{x-1}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify $\dfrac{x}{x^2+3x-4}$ into partial fraction decomposition. This can be written as: $\dfrac{x}{x^2+3x-4}=\dfrac{x}{(x+4)(x-1)}$ Applying the partial fraction decomposition rule. $\dfrac{x}{(x+4)(x-1)}=\dfrac{A}{x+4}+\dfrac{B}{x-1}$
