What method do I use to find the integral of 1/(1-x^2/4) ? Even though factoring out makes it somewhat simpler, I still have to deal with the same thing I had at the beginning in terms of actually finding the integral of this fraction.

@stormgirl147 first factor the terms and then multiply and divide the whole eqn by 4

@stormgirl47  
integral of 1 / (2-x)*(2+x)
multiply and divide by 4
integral of  4 / 4* (2-x)*(2+x)
is that right?

I can't integrate with pencil and paper myself.
Hope the attachment from WolframAlpha will help.
