Answer

$\frac{2x^3+7x+5}{(x^2+x+2)(x^2+1)}=\frac{2x-5}{x^2+x+2}+\frac{5}{x^2+1}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{2x^3+7x+5}{(x^2+x+2)(x^2+1)}=\frac{Ax+B}{x^2+x+2}+\frac{Cx+D}{x^2+1}$, $Ax+B(x^2+1)+Cx+D(x^2+x+2)$, $Ax^3+Ax+Bx^2+B+Cx^3+Cx^2+2Cx+Dx^2+Dx+2D$, $(A+C)x^3+(B+C+D)x^2+(A+2C+D)x+(B+2D)=2x^3+7x+5$, $\begin{cases} A+C=2\\ B+C+D=0\\ A+2C+D=7\\ B+2D=5 \end{cases}$ Multiplying Equation 1 by -1 and adding it to Equation 3. $\begin{cases} -A-C=-2\\ A+2C+D=7\\ -- -- -- -- --\\ C+D=5 \end{cases}$ Multiplying Equation 2 by -1 and Equation 4. $\begin{cases} -B-C-D=0\\ B+2D=5\\ -- -- -- --\\ -C+D=5 \end{cases}$ Adding the addition results. $\begin{cases} C+D=5\\ -C+D=5\\ -- -- -- --\\ 2D=10 \end{cases}$ thus, $D=5$, substituting back into the Equation, $C+5=5, C=0$. substituting back into the Equation, $A+0=2, A=2$. substituting back into the Equation $B+10=5, B=-5$. Therefore, $\frac{2x^3+7x+5}{(x^2+x+2)(x^2+1)}=\frac{2x-5}{x^2+x+2}+\frac{5}{x^2+1}$
