Homework Statement



How can I integrate this? I already tried substitution u=x-1 and partial fractions.

∫[dx]/[(1-X^2)√((x^2)-3x+2)]

The Attempt at a Solution

How I'd start would be to first complete the square inside the square root, then do a trigonometric substitution of ##\displaystyle x - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \sec x##. Try it out and see what you get.
