Use integration by partial fractions.

The integrand is not a rational expression, so I don't see how this technique could work.

A better approach, I believe, is to complete the square inside the radical, and then use a trig substitution.
 
Hmmm, good point trig substitution would probably work.
 
I finally done it with a little help from a friend :)
