Let's rewrite the integrand by completing the square for ,



Now apply integral substitution,


Let u=x+1,




Now again apply the integral substitution,


Let u=sec(v),




Now use the identity: 




assuming 



Using the identity: 




Apply the sum rule,



Now let's evaluate the first integral by applying the integral reduction,





Now use the common integral: 



Now plug back the above integral and the common integral,


 





Now substitute back: 





Now
