The integral provided in the image is:

\[
\int \frac{(x-4)}{(x-1)^2(x^2+2)} \, dx
\]

To evaluate this integral, we can approach it using partial fraction decomposition, as the integrand involves a product of polynomials with distinct factors. Here are the steps to solve:

### Step 1: Setup partial fraction decomposition
The expression we are trying to decompose is:

\[
\frac{(x-4)}{(x-1)^2(x^2+2)}
\]

We assume the following form for the partial fraction decomposition:

\[
\frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{(x-1)^2} + \frac{Cx+D}{x^2+2}
\]

Multiplying both sides of this equation by \((x-1)^2(x^2+2)\) gives:

\[
x - 4 = A(x-1)(x^2+2) + B(x^2+2) + (Cx+D)(x-1)^2
\]

### Step 2: Expand the right-hand side and collect terms
We need to expand and collect like powers of \(x\) to solve for \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\).
