Formula used:
Decomposition of f(x)g(x) Partial Fractions:
Consider a rational expression f(x)g(x), where f(x) and g (x) are polynomial with real coefficients, g(x)0, and the degree of f (x) is less than degree of g(x).
Step1: Factor the denominator g (x) completely into linear factors of the form (ax+b)m and quadratic factors of the form (ax2+bx+c)n that are not further factorable over the integers.
‘Step2: Set up the form of decomposition. That is, write the original rational expression f(x)g(x) as a sum of simpler fractions using these guidelines. Note that A1,A2,.....,Am,B1,B2,....,Bm and C1,C2,.....,Cm are constants.
Linear Factors of g(x):
For each linear factor of g(x), the partial fraction decomposition must include the sum:
A1(ax+b)1+A2(ax+b)2+.+Am(ax+b)m
Quadratic Factors of g (x):
For each quadratic factor of g (x), the partial fraction decomposition must include the sum:
B1x+C1(ax2+bx+c)1+B2x+C2(ax2+bx+c)2++Bnx+Cn(ax2+bx+c)n
Step3: With the form of the partial fraction decomposition set up, multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD to clear fractions.
‘Step4: Use the equation from step3, set up a system of linear equations by equating the constant terms and equating the coefficients of like powers of x.
Step 5: Solve the system of equations from step4 and substitute the solutions to the system into the partial fraction decomposition.
Calculation:
Consider the provided expression: 

2x3x2+8x16x4+5x2+4
Here, f(x)=2x3x2+8xl6andg(x)=x4+5x2+4.
Factorize g(x):
g(x)=x4+5x2+4
=x4+x2+4x2+4
=x2(x2+1)+4(x2+1)
=(x2+4)(x2+1)
So, the expression becomes:
2x3x2+8x16(x2+4)(x2+1)
Here, in g (x), there are two factors, both are quadratic. So, the expression can be decomposed as:
