From module Polynomial Manipulations

Problem

Let pp, qq, and rr be the distinct roots of the polynomial x322x2+80x67x^3 - 22x^2 + 80x - 67. It is given that there exist real numbers AA, BB, and CC such that 1s322s2+80s67=Asp+Bsq+Csr\frac{1}{s^3 - 22s^2 + 80s - 67} = \frac{A}{s-p} + \frac{B}{s-q} + \frac{C}{s-r} for all s{p,q,r}s \notin \{p, q, r\}. What is 1A+1B+1C\dfrac{1}{A} + \dfrac{1}{B} + \dfrac{1}{C}?
