Complete the square inside the root to reduce it to the standard form ∫dx(x−p)2−q2\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{(x-p)^2-q^2}}. (Answering the primary part; the OR alternative uses partial fractions on a rational function.)

(x−1)(x−2)=x2−3x+2=(x−32)2−14(x-1)(x-2)=x^2-3x+2=\left(x-\dfrac32\right)^2-\dfrac14

So ∫dx(x−1)(x−2)=∫dx(x−32)2−(12)2\int\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{(x-1)(x-2)}}=\int\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{\left(x-\frac32\right)^2-\left(\frac12\right)^2}}
