Multiple Choice

Write the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression.
$$\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { x ^ { 4 } - 21 x ^ { 2 } - 100 }$$

• A) \(\frac { 1 } { 29 } \left( \frac { 4 } { x ^ { 2 } + 4 } + \frac { 5 } { 2 ( x - 5 ) } - \frac { 5 } { 2 ( x + 5 ) } \right)\)
• B)
• \(\frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } - \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 20 }\)
• C)
• \(\frac { 1 } { 29 } \left( \frac { 4 } { x ^ { 2 } + 4 } + \frac { 5 ( x + 4 ) } { 2 ( x - 5 ) } + \frac { 5 } { 2 ( x - 5 ) } \right)\)
• D)
• \(\frac { 1 } { 29 } \left( \frac { 4 } { x ^ { 2 } + 4 } - \frac { 5 } { 2 ( x - 5 ) } + \frac { 5 } { 2 ( x + 5 ) } \right)\)
• E)
• \(\frac { 1 } { 29 } \left( \frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } + 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 ( x - 5 ) } - \frac { 1 } { 2 ( x + 5 ) } \right)\)
