Question:

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why. If it is false, explain why or give an example that disproves the statement.

{eq}\displaystyle \dfrac {x^2 + 4} {x (x^2 - 4)} {/eq} can be put in the form {eq}\displaystyle \dfrac A x + \dfrac B {x + 2} + \dfrac C {x - 2} {/eq}.

Partial Decomposition:

Partial decomposition means decomposing the fraction into the sum of simplified rational expressions. They are defined only for proper fractions ({eq}\deg \left( Nr \right)<\deg \left( Dr \right) {/eq}). If the denominator can be factored, then write it as the product of factors.
