Expansion not working

When I copy the result and paste, then factor, the polynomial is factored but the partial fraction expansion returns an ugly fourth degree polynomial for something that should be second degree. Is there something I'm missing, or another command. My professor uses the TI Nspire and he said expand(rref should work. Is there an analogue to TI's expand for Prime?

Could you please share an example of the expression ?
So long,
