Let's rewrite the integrand by completing the square of the denominator,



Now let's apply the integral substitution,


Let 



du=1dx




Now apply the sum rule,




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


Let 









substitute back 



Now let's evaluate the second integral using integral substitution,


For substitute ,


Let 








Now use the identity:



assuming sec(v)



Now using the common integral,




Substitute back 






Substitute back 








add a constant C to the solution,
