Homework Statement



I'm just curious if there is any useful shortcuts when applying partial fractions decomposition. These are only a portion of the problem given for us, so it's important that I can do them quickly and efficiently.

Does anyone know of any useful shortcuts that would speed up the process?

I posted and example of one of the decompositions we are expected to face in typical problem.

yeah, Partial fraction decomposition is a long and nasty process. there isn't too much you can do to get around it, other than practice your algebra skills!
