Step 1.2

For each factor in the denominator, create a new fraction using the factor as the denominator, and an unknown value as the numerator. Since the factor is 2nd order, $2$ terms are required in the numerator. The number of terms required in the numerator is always equal to the order of the factor in the denominator.

$\frac{A x + B}{x^{2} + 1}$

Step 1.3

For each factor in the denominator, create a new fraction using the factor as the denominator, and an unknown value as the numerator. Since the factor in the denominator is linear, put a single variable in its place $C$ .

$\frac{A x + B}{x^{2} + 1} + \frac{C}{x + 1}$
