Answer

$$\frac{A}{{x + 2}} + \frac{B}{{{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^2}}} + \frac{C}{{{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^3}}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Given exercise }}\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^3}}} \cr & {\text{In the denominator the expression is }}{\left( {x + 2} \right)^3}{\text{ it is a linear}} \cr & {\text{repeated factor, then the numerator for each term of the}} \cr & {\text{partial fraction decomposition is a different constant, so }} \cr & {\text{the decomposition is:}} \cr & \frac{{{x^2}}}{{{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^3}}} = \frac{A}{{x + 2}} + \frac{B}{{{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^2}}} + \frac{C}{{{{\left( {x + 2} \right)}^3}}} \cr} $$
