Use partial Fraction Decomposition calculate∫ 2 dx / [(x-4)(x^2+2x+6)]?

0 votes
Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to solve this review problem. I can't figure out how they reached their answer.

∫ 2 dx / [(x-4)(x^2+2x+6)]

The farthest I managed to reach is that
A = 1/17
B = -1/17
C = 6/17

(1/17) / (x-4) + (-1/17x + 6/17) / (x^2+2x+6)
