(1) Denominator has degree 3, numerator has degree 2, therefore long division is not necessary.


(2) Write the partial fractions general form equation:

Notice that is an irreducible quadratic (cannot be factored). So we have:


(3) Solve for constants:

Cross multiply:

Plug in , obtain:

Expand RHS:

Comparing terms, obtain: and thus .

Comparing constant terms, .


(4) Integrate by terms:


Note A: For the last term, use the formula:
