Okay, after you told me my first step was wrong, I started over. I looked at the half angle double angle stuff and didn't like how it was looking so I tried a similar approach to my first but fixed the first step.
My solution:
Integral ( cos(x)/(1+cos(x))^.5 dx)
Conjugate/trig identities...
Homework Statement
Integral ( cos(x)/(1+cos(x))^.5 dx)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Integral ( cos(x)/(1+cos(x))^.5 dx)
Square it
Integral ( cos(x)^2/(1+cos(x) dx)
Multiply by the Conjugate
Integral ( cos(x)^2/(1+cos(x) * (1 - cos(x))/(1 - cos(x)) dx)...
Homework Statement
Hi, I'm trying to take the integral of x/(x^2-2x+5) dx but I'm not sure what to do.

I started by completeing the square in the denominator giving me the integral of x/((x-1)^2+4)) dx but I am not sure where to go...
