The Attempt at a Solution
So far I have brought it down to
[tex] \int^{2}_{0}\frac{1}{1-x}+\frac{1}{1+x} dx[/tex]
However, it seems that this integral produces a natural logarithm, which then must be evaluated with a negative logerand, making it a complex number.
My textbook is introductory calculus, so it deals strictly with real numbers, so I am puzzled.
