Given an expression as below:


(x-3)/(x^2-6x+9)

Using a partial fraction:


(x-3)/(x^2-6x+9)
(x-3)/(x^2-6x+9)=(A)/(x-3)+(B)/(x-3)

Where


x^2-6x+9=(x-3)^2=(x-3)(x-3)
\begin{gathered} (x-3)/((x-3)(x-3)) \\ \text{divide both side by x-3, cancel the common factor} \\ (x-3)/((x-3)(x-3))=(1)/(x-3) \end{gathered}

Therefore the above expression = True
