(3/((x+1)(x^2 −4) ))= (A/(x+1)) + (B/(x^2 −4))  3 = A(x^2 −4) + B(x+1)  when x= −1  3= A(−3)  A= −1   when x= 2  3= B(3)  B= 1  when B = −2  3=B(−1)  B=−(1/3)  partial fractions are   (3/((x+1)(x^2 −4)))≡(1/(x^2 −4))−(1/(x+1))    or (3/((x+1)(x^2 −4))) ≡ −(1/(x+1))−(1/(3(x^2 −4)))

(3/((x+1)(x+2)(x−2)))=(a/(x+1))+(b/(x+2))+(c/(x−2))  a=(3/((x^2 −4)))∣_(x=−1) = −1  b=(3/((x+1)(x−2)))∣_(x=−2) = (3/4)  c=(3/((x+1)(x+2)))∣_(x=2) = (1/4)  so  (3/((x+1)(x^2 −4)))= ((−1)/(x+1))+(3/(4(x+2)))+(1/(4(x−2))) .
$$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)}=\frac{{a}}{{x}+\mathrm{1}}+\frac{{b}}{{x}+\mathrm{2}}+\frac{{c}}{{x}−\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${a}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\right)}\mid_{{x}=−\mathrm{1}} =\:−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${b}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)}\mid_{{x}=−\mathrm{2}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${c}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)}\mid_{{x}=\mathrm{2}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${so} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\right)}=\:\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{{x}+\mathrm{1}}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)}\:. \\ $$

(a/(x+1))+(b/(x+2))+(c/(x−2))  =((a(x+2)(x−2)+b(x+1)(x−2)+c(x+1)(x+2))/((x+1)(x+2)(x−2)))  x=−1  ⇒3=a(1)(−3)=−3a  ⇒a=−1  x=−2  ⇒3=b(−1)(−4)=4b  ⇒b=(3/4)  x=2  ⇒3=c(3)(4)⇒c=(1/4)  ∴(3/((x+1)(x^2 −4)))= ((−1)/(x+1)) + (3/(4(x+2))) + (1/(4(x−2)))
$$\frac{{a}}{{x}+\mathrm{1}}+\frac{{b}}{{x}+\mathrm{2}}+\frac{{c}}{{x}−\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\frac{{a}\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)+{b}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)+{c}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)}{\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)} \\ $$$${x}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}={a}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\left(−\mathrm{3}\right)=−\mathrm{3}{a} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${x}=−\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}={b}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)\left(−\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{4}{b} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{b}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}={c}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\left(\mathrm{4}\right)\Rightarrow{c}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\therefore\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}\right)}=\:\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{{x}+\mathrm{1}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}\left({x}+\mathrm{2}\right)}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)} \\ $$
