partial fraction decomposition of (2x-3)/(x^2-2x+1)
-------------------
DEN = (x-1)^2
----
(2x-3)/(x^2-2x+1) = A/(x-1)^2 + B/(x-1)
(2x-3)/(x^2-2x+1) = A/(x-1)^2 + B(x-1)/(x-1)^2
2x-3 = A + Bx - B
2x = Bx
B = 2
-------
A - B = -3
A = -1
--------------
Check:
(2x-3)/(x^2-2x+1) = -1/(x-1)^2 + 2/(x-1) ?
(2x-3)/(x^2-2x+1) = -1/(x-1)^2 + 2*(x-1)/(x-1)^2 ?
(2x-3) = -1 + 2*(x-1) ?
2x-3 = 2x - 3 it's correct
