    I'm not doing my homework. I'll graduate from college this summer. I was reviewing calculus because I'm planning on going to graduate school.

    It's been years since I took calculus. Been too busy to re-study.

    You integrate this by looking it up in an integral table. At least that's what I would do.

    I posted it on the first page:


    x/a= (x-1+1)/a

    so by applying that

    (x-1+1)/[(x-1)*(X^2+x+1)]

    split them up into two different fractions

    (x-1)/[(x-1)*(X^2+x+1)] + 1/[(x-1)*(X^2+x+1)]

    in the first term, the (x-1) cancel out


    I have no clue what to do next, but its a way of simplifying it

    and looking at the final answer the term (X^2+x+1) is in it.. which is in my simplification
