Thread: integrate the function....

i am supposed to integrate this function, but i have no idea, i completed the square hoping that would help but still no good, any thoughts? well here is an upload of the problem...sorry for the messy handwriting. thanks in advance.

use partial fractions

There are 2 ways to approach this

1) 1/[x^2 - 12x +32] =1/[ (x-8)(x-4)]

and Use partial fraction decomp

2) x^2 - 12x +32 = (x-6)^2 - 4

use trig sub

Let x -6 = 2sec(t)

ok im gonna take a look at the partial fraction, only because i havent learned that method before..thanks again!
