(x+3)(x2+1)9x−7=x+3A+x2+1Bx+C⇒9x−7=A(x2+1)+(Bx+C)(x+3)⇒9x−7=Ax2+A+Bx2+3Bx+Cx+3C Comparing coefficients of x2,x and constant to both the sides, we have A+B=0 . . . (i) 3B+C=9 . . . (ii) A+3C=−7… (iii) From Eq. (i), A=−B∴ Eq. (ii) becomes, −3A+C=9 . . . (iv) Solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we have C=5−6 Now, A+B+C=0+(5−6)=5−6
