Answer

$\dfrac{Ax+B}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{Cx+D}{x^2+2}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify $\dfrac{x^3-4x^2+2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)}$ into partial fraction decomposition. Here, the denominator terms can be be further factorized.Thus, the partial decomposition will be shown in a linear function of $x$. Applying the partial fraction decomposition rule. $\dfrac{x^3-4x^2+2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+2)}=\dfrac{Ax+B}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{Cx+D}{x^2+2}$
