Partial Fraction `(3x)/(x^2+2x+1)`

Solution:
1. Factors the denominator
`(3x)/(x^2+2x+1)=(3x)/((x+1)^2)`

2. Partial Fraction for each factors
`:. (3x)/((x+1)^2)=A/(x+1)+B/(x+1)^2`

3. Multiply through by the common denominator of `(x+1)^2`

`:. 3x=A(x+1)+B1`

`:. 3x=Ax+A+B`

4. Group the `x`-terms and the constant terms

`:. 3x=Ax+(A+B)`

5. Coefficients of the two polynomials must be equal, so we get equations
`A=3`

`A+B=0`

Solution of equations using Elimination method

Total Equations are `2`

`A+0B=3 -> (1)`

`A+B=0 -> (2)`



Now use back substitution method
From (1)
`A=3`

`=>A=3`

From (2)
`A+B=0`

`=>(3)+B=0`

`=>B+3=0`

`=>B=0-3=-3`

Solution using back substitution method.
`A = 3,B = -3`



After solving these equations, we get
`A=3,B=-3`

Substitute these values in the original fractions
`((3x))/((x+1)^2)=(3)/(x+1)+(-3)/(x+1)^2`
