If $\frac{1-x+6 x^2}{1-x^3}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{1+x}+\frac{C}{1+x}$, then $A$ is equal to

If $\frac{1-x+6 x^2}{1-x^3}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{1+x}+\frac{C}{1+x}$, then $A$ is equal to
  1. $1$
  2. $2$
  3. $3$
  4. $4$

Solution

We have, $ \begin{aligned} \frac{1-x+6 x^2}{x-x^3} & =\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{1-x}+\frac{C}{1+x} \\ \Rightarrow \quad 1-x+6 x^2 & =A\left(1-x^2\right)+B x(1+x)+C x(1-x) \end{aligned} $ Put $x=0$, then $A=1$
