Evaluate the integral: $$\int \dfrac{9x^2+13x-6}{(x-1)(x+1)^2} dx$$

For some reason I cannot get the right answer. I split up the equation into three partial fractions but I cannot seem to find A, B, or C from the three subsequent equations. Thanks!

    I get (A+B)x^2+(2Ax+Cx)+(A-B-C)=9x^2+13x-62012-10-28
