Homework Statement



[itex]\int^{0}_{2\pi}[/itex] [itex]\frac{d\theta}{13+5sin\theta}[/itex]

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



so i changed it using [itex]sin \theta = \frac{1}{2i} (z - \frac{1}{z})[/itex]

and i get[itex]\oint \frac{2}{5z^2+26zi-5}[/itex] which i factored down to [itex](z = \frac{-26±\sqrt{776}}{10})[/itex]

but no matter how i proceed from here i can't get the answer, any ideas anyone?
