Step-by-step solution

Here's a step-by-step solution for each question:

Question 1:
We are given the equation:

2x+1x(x−1)=Ax+Bx−1\frac{2x+1}{x(x-1)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x-1}
  1. Combine the terms on the right side of the equation.

    Ax+Bx−1=A(x−1)+Bxx(x−1)=Ax−A+Bxx(x−1)=(A+B)x−Ax(x−1)\frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x-1} = \frac{A(x-1) + Bx}{x(x-1)} = \frac{Ax - A + Bx}{x(x-1)} = \frac{(A+B)x - A}{x(x-1)}
  2. Compare the numerator
