Resolve the expression into the simplest partial fractions

The partial fraction expansion will look like

(x - 2)/((x ² + 1) (x - 1)²) = (ax + b)/(x ² + 1) + c/(x - 1) + d/(x - 1)²

Get everything in terms of a common denominator, and compare the numerators on both sides:

x - 2 = (ax + b) (x - 1)² + c (x ² + 1) (x - 1) + d (x ² + 1)

Expand the right side:

x - 2 = (ax + b) (x - 1)² + c (x ² + 1) (x - 1) + d (x ² + 1)

x - 2 = (a + c) x ³ + (-2a + b - c + d) x ² + (a - 2b + c) x + b - c + d

Match up the coefficients and solve the resulting system of equations:

a + c = 0

-2a + b - c + d = 0

a - 2b + c = 1

b - c + d = -2

==>   a = -1, b = -1/2, c = 1, d = -1/2

So the expansion into partial fractions is

(x - 2)/((x ² + 1) (x - 1)²) = (-x - 1/2)/(x ² + 1) + 1/(x - 1) - 1/(2 (x - 1)²)

… = -(2x + 1)/(2 (x ² + 1)) + 1/(x - 1) - 1/(2 (x - 1)²)
