Question 1108249: Given the function
(x^(4)-2x^(3)+x^(2)+5x-1)/x^(2)-2x+1
Write the form of the partial fraction decomposition of the function without determining the numerical values of the coefficients.
Tried polynomial division and got A/x-1 + B/(x-1)^2 but this isn't correct.

Try again, but do the partial fraction decomposition on the rational part which you find AFTER the polynomial division.
