Answer

$\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{Bx+C}{{{x}^{2}}+1}$.

Work Step by Step

The provided rational expression is as given below: $\frac{5{{x}^{2}}-6x+7}{\left( x-1 \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}$ Now, solve the expression as follows: We set up the partial fraction expansion with unknown constants coefficients and then write a constant coefficients over each of the two distinct algebraic linear factors in the denominator of the expression. $\frac{5{{x}^{2}}-6x+7}{\left( x-1 \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}=\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{Bx+C}{{{x}^{2}}+1}$ Thus, $\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{Bx+C}{{{x}^{2}}+1}$ is a partial fraction expansion of the rational expression$\frac{5{{x}^{2}}-6x+7}{\left( x-1 \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}$ with constants $A$, $B$ and $C$ .
