The correct answer is: -175(x+3)+(17x-6)5x2+1

The partial fraction for px+qx+ax2+b2 is of type Ax+a+Bx+Cx2+b2

Hence, 9x-7x+3x2+1=Ax+3+Bx+Cx2+1

9x-7x+3x2+1=Ax2+1+Bx+Cx+3x+3x2+1

9x-7=Ax2+1+Bx+Cx+3

9x-7=Ax2+1+Bx2+3Bx+Cx+3C

On comparing, the coefficients of x2, x and the constant term, we get

A+B=0   ...i

3B+C=9   ...ii and

A+3C=-7   ...iii

On solving the above three equations, we get A=-175, B=175, C=-65.

Hence, 9x-7x+3x2+1=-175x+3+175x+-65x2+1

9x-7x+3x2+1=-175x+3+17x-65x2+1.
