`int 1/(x^2-4x+9) dx` Find the indefinite integral

`int1/(x^2-4x+9)dx`


Let's complete the square for the denominator of the integral as:


`(x^2-4x+9)=(x-2)^2+5`  


`(x-2)^2+(sqrt(5))^2`


`int1/(x^2-4x+9)dx=int1/((x-2)^2+(sqrt(5))^2)dx`


Let's apply the integral substitution,


substitute `u=x-2`


`du=1dx`


`=int1/(u^2+(sqrt(5))^2)du`


Now use the standard integral :`int1/(x^2+a^2)=1/aarctan(x/a)`


`=1/sqrt(5)arctan(u/sqrt(5))`


substitute back u=(x-2) and add a constant C to the solution,


`=1/sqrt(5)arctan((x-2)/sqrt(5))+C`

In "By the Waters of Babylon," under the leadership of John, what do you think the Hill People will do with their society?

The best place to look for evidence in regards to what John's plans are for his people is the final paragraphs of the story. John has re...
