Answer

$$1 + \frac{1}{{{t^2}}} - \frac{{10}}{{{t^2} + 9}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{{t^4} + 9}}{{{t^4} + 9{t^2}}} \cr & {\text{Divide the denominator into the numerator to get a poynomial plus a }} \cr & {\text{proper fraction}} \cr & \frac{{{t^4} + 9}}{{{t^4} + 9{t^2}}} = 1 + \frac{{9 - 9{t^2}}}{{{t^4} + 9{t^2}}} \cr & {\text{decomposing }}\frac{{9 - 9{t^2}}}{{{t^4} + 9{t^2}}}{\text{ into partial fractions}} \cr & \frac{{9 - 9{t^2}}}{{{t^4} + 9{t^2}}} = \frac{{9 - 9{t^2}}}{{{t^2}\left( {{t^2} + 9} \right)}} \cr & {\text{The partial fraction decomposition has the form}} \cr & \frac{{9 - 9{t^2}}}{{{t^2}\left( {{t^2} + 9} \right)}} = \frac{A}{t} + \frac{B}{{{t^2}}} + \frac{{Ct + D}}{{{t^2} + 9}}\,\,\,\left( {\bf{1}} \right) \cr & {\text{Multiplying by }}{t^2}\left( {{t^2} + 9} \right){\text{, we have}} \cr & 9 - 9{t^2} = At\left( {{t^2} + 9} \right) + B\left( {{t^2} + 9} \right) + \left( {Ct + D} \right){t^2} \cr & 9 - 9{t^2} = A{t^3} + 9At + B{t^2} + 9B + C{t^3} + D{t^2} \cr & 9 - 9{t^2} = \left( {A{t^3} + C{t^3}} \right) + \left( {B{t^2} + D{t^2}} \right) + 9At + 9B \cr & {\text{If we equate coefficients}}{\text{, we get the system}} \cr & A + C = 0,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,B + D = - 9,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,9A = 0,\,\,\,\,\,\,9B = 9 \cr & {\text{Solving, we get}} \cr & A = 0,\,\,C = 0,\,\,\,B = 1,\,\,\,\,D = - 10 \cr & {\text{Then substituting }}A{\text{ and }}B{\text{ into the equation }}\left( {\bf{1}} \right) \cr & \frac{{9 - 9{t^2}}}{{{t^2}\left( {{t^2} + 9} \right)}} = \frac{1}{{{t^2}}} - \frac{{10}}{{{t^2} + 9}} \cr & \cr & \frac{{{t^4} + 9}}{{{t^4} + 9{t^2}}} = 1 + \frac{1}{{{t^2}}} - \frac{{10}}{{{t^2} + 9}} \cr} $$
