We recognize here a rational function. The technique of integrationg such functions is the partial decomposition technique. In this case, the degree of the denominator is 2 with an irreducible polynomial function. So no need to perform the long-division. One may also use the table for this integration.
We have
It is a common mistake to forget the constant .
