Write 2x2+3x+4=2(x2+32x+2)2x^2+3x+4=2\left(x^2+\dfrac32x+2\right). Complete the square: x2+32x+2=(x+34)2+2316x^2+\dfrac32x+2=\left(x+\dfrac34\right)^2+\dfrac{23}{16}. Let u=x+34u=x+\dfrac34, a2=2316a^2=\dfrac{23}{16}:

∫x2+32x+2 dx=u2u2+a2+a22log⁡(u+u2+a2)+c\int\sqrt{x^2+\tfrac32x+2}\,dx=\dfrac u2\sqrt{u^2+a^2}+\dfrac{a^2}2\log\left(u+\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\right)+c …
