Partial Fractions - Calculus Evaluate the integral: $$\int \dfrac{9x^2+13x-6}{(x-1)(x+1)^2} dx$$
For some reason I cannot get the right answer. I split up the equation into three partial fractions but I cannot seem to find A, B, or C from the three subsequent equations. Thanks!

From $(A+B) x^2 + (2A+C)x +(A-B-C) = 9x^2+13 x -6$, you need to solve for $A,B,C$. Since the coefficients of the polynomials in $x$ must match, this gives three equations $A+B=9$, $2A+C = 13$, and $A-B-C = -6$. If you solve these you will get your answer.
To check, move your mouse over the following:

 $$\frac{5}{x+1}+\frac{5}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{4}{x-1} = \frac{9x^2+13x-6}{(x-1)(x+1)^2}$$
