factor the denomiator
--
now set
=
this integrates into
+ constant
==
find A, B, and C by multiplying by the common denominator and setting the numerator equal to its original numerator of 1.

select 3 different values of x and solve for A, B and C
--
choose 3 convenient X values ie -1,0,1
x=0: => A=1
x=-1: => -C=1 or C=-1
you get the idea?
