    (x^2+1)/(x^3+x^2)=a/x+b/x^2+c/(x+1) where a,b,c are your numbers in box

    first left side
    (x^2+1)/(x^3+x^2)
    =(x^2+1)/(x^2(x+1))

    then right side
    a/x+b/x^2+c/(x+1)=(ax^2 + ax + bx + b + cx^2)/(x^2 (x + 1))

    then

    (x^2+1)/(x^2(x+1))=(ax^2 + ax + bx + b + cx^2)/(x^2 (x + 1))...........if denominators same, for equation to be true, numerators must be same to

    x^2+1=ax^2 + ax + bx + b + cx^2

    x^2+0*x+1=(a+ c)x^2 + (a + b)x + b

    =>a+c=1
    =>(a + b)=0=>a=-b
    =>b=1
    would be true if: a = -1, b = 1, c = 2
