Let x2=a(1+x)+b(2+x2)+c(x)x2=a(1+x)+b(2+x2)+c(x).

Afterward, we obtain by comparing the power of x coefficients a+2b=0(1)
ac=0(2)
2b=1(3).
From (3) we have b=12.

From (1) and (2) we have c=2b=1c=2b=1.

Therefore a=c=1.

Thus x2 can be written as a linear combination of (1+x),(2+x2)(1+x),(2+x2) and x.
