As part of trying to solve a differential equation using Laplace transforms, I have the fraction 10s(s2+2)(s2+1) which I am trying to perform partial fraction decomposition on so that I can do a inverse Laplace transform. When I try to work out this fraction, I get that 10=0(A+B) since s1 does not show up in the fraction. How does partial fraction decomposition work for a fraction like this?

I think you should work on the following, instead
As+Bs2+2+Cs+Ds2+1
Or use the convolution theorem.

10s(s2+2)(s2+1)=10ss2+210ss2+1
Because
10s(s2+2)(s2+1)=As+Bs2+2+Cs+Ds2+1
then
(A+C)s3+(B+D)s2+(A+2C)s+(B+2D)=10s
A+C=0
B+D=0
A+2C=10
B+2D=0
imply A=10, B=0, C=-10 and D=0
