For an irreducible quadratic factor like x2+2x^2+2, the numerator over it must be a general LINEAR expression Bx+CBx+C (not a plain constant), since a constant alone can't match every possible remainder.

2x2+3x+4(x−1)(x2+2)=Ax−1+Bx+Cx2+2\dfrac{2x^2+3x+4}{(x-1)(x^2+2)}=\dfrac{A}{x-1}+\dfrac{Bx+C}{x^2+2}

2x2+3x+4=A(x2+2)+(Bx+C)(x−1)2x^2+3x+4=A(x^2+2)+(Bx+C)(x-1)

At x=1x=1: 9=A(3)⇒A=39=A(3)\Rightarrow A=3

Comparing x2x^2 coefficients: 2=A+B⇒B=−12=A+B\Rightarrow B=-1 …
