8 (i) Given that \( \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)^{2}}=\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{B}{(x-1)^{2}} \) find the value of \( A \) and of \( B \). (ii) Hence find the derivative of \( \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)^{2}} \).

To solve part (i), we start by combining the fractions on the right-hand side: \[ \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{(x-1)^{2}} = \frac{A(x-1) + B}{(x-1)^{2}}. \] Now, we want the fractions to be equal: \[ \frac{2x - 1}{(x - 1)^{2}} = \frac{A(x-1) + B}{(x - 1)^{2}}. \] This gives us: \[ 2x - 1 = A(x - 1) + B. \] Expanding the right side: \[ 2x - 1 = Ax - A + B. \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x - 1 = Ax + (B - A). \] By comparing coefficients, we can deduce that: 1. For the \(x\) terms: \(A = 2\), 2. For the constant terms: \(-A + B = -1\). Substituting \(A = 2\) into the second equation: \[ -2 + B = -1 \implies B = 1. \] Thus, \(A = 2\) and \(B = 1\). For part (ii), we can use the quotient rule to differentiate: Let \(y = \frac{2x-1}{(x-1)^{2}}\). The quotient rule states: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(f' g - f g')}{g^2}, \] where \(f = 2x-1\) and \(g = (x-1)^{2}\). Calculating derivatives: - \(f' = 2\), - \(g = (x - 1)^{2} \implies g' = 2(x - 1)\). Now substitute into the quotient rule formula: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2)(x-1)^{2} - (2x-1)(2(x-1))}{(x-1)^{4}}. \] Simplifying the numerator: \[ = \frac{2(x-1)^{2} - (2x - 1)(2x - 2)}{(x-1)^{4}}. \] This requires simplification for the final answer, but we already have the derivative's structure ready to go!
