What is the partial fraction of $frac{x}{((x)^2+1)^2}$
$begingroup$
I was trying to find the partial fraction of
$$frac{x}{(x^2+1)^2}$$
By the method of assuming
$$frac{x}{(x^2+1)^2}=frac{(Ax+B)}{(x^2+1)} + frac{(Cx+D)}{(x^2+1)^2} $$
But, my values for $A, B$ and $D$ are coming $0$.
i.e. $$A=B=D=0$$ and $$C=1$$
Which is directly equal to
$$frac{x}{(x^2+1)^2}$$
So, technically I got NO solution or Partial Fraction
I am afraid if I'm doing any foolish mistake but, please help me out in this issue. I haven't practised Partial Fractions since a long time.
Thank you so much in advance!
Great Day Ahead!

The ansatz that you are using only works when your rational function has a denominator that is a $textbf{linear term}$ squared. The correct ansatz here is $frac{x}{(x^{2} + 1)^{2}} = frac{A}{x + i} + frac{B}{x-i} + frac{Cx + D}{(x+i)^{2}} + frac{Ex + F}{(x - i)^{2}}$. I'm not sure if you wanted your partial fractions to have complex coefficients, but this will give you the complete partial fraction expansion of $frac{x}{(x^{2} + 1)^{2}}$

Well, of course the solution of the form $frac{Ax+B}{x^2+1}+frac{Cx+D}{(x^2+1)^2}$ is $frac{x}{(x^2+1)^2}$; that's what you started with. If you want another partial fractions expression, use complex numbers. If the point of the exercise is to integrate the function, you'd be better off substituting $y=x^2+1$.
