# Easy partial fraction decomposition

In integrating $$\dfrac{3t^4+2t^2}{(t-1)^3 (t+1)^3}$$ I need to decompose this using partial fraction decomposition.

Using Heaviside cover-up method, I am able to easily get the coefficients of $$C = \frac58$$ and $$F = -\frac58$$.

$$\frac{3t^4+2t^2}{ (t-1)^3(t+1)^3 } = \frac{A}{t-1} + \frac{B}{(t-1)^2} + \frac{C}{(t-1)^3} + \frac{D}{t+1} + \frac{E}{(t+1)^2} + \frac{F}{(t+1)^3}.$$

I can also get an equation $$0 = A + D$$ multiplying by $$t$$ and sending them to infinity.

What would be the fastest and most efficient way of obtaining the rest, $$A$$, $$B$$, $$D$$ and $$E$$?

Thanks :)

• Ugh. It's quite uncomfortable to read this kind of equations. Please use MathJax. You'll improve the legibility of the equations in less than a minute. – Matti P. Mar 26 '20 at 13:35
• Thank you Matti, I am very new to this forum, is there any tutorial on the site? – Milan Mar 26 '20 at 13:43

• Typically, I find substituting in nice values for $t$ and solve the resulting linear equations to be much easier than equating coefficients (especially because of calculation errors). – Calvin Lin Mar 26 '20 at 14:07
