(Botswana)
How do I integrate such integrals with constant numerator and denominator without square root?

Answer by Pablo:
This integral does not have a square root but falls into the third case of trigonometric substitution. Look it up here:
Trigonometric Substitution.
Using the substitution of the third case we make:

Making these substitutions and using the trigonometric identity for the third case:

Now we only need to solve this trigonometric integral and make the inverse substitutions. This trigonometric integral is solved as an example in this page:
Trigonometric Integrals. The result is:

Now, substituting back:

And now using the following trigonometric identities:

We have the answer is:
