Please someone give me an idea to evaluate
this: $$int frac1(2+3cos x)^2mathrm dx$$
I don't even know how to start cause even multiplying an dividing by $cos^2x$ does not work, so help me here.

Integrating by parts,



$$intdfracdx(a+bcos x)^2=intdfracsin x(a+bcos x)^2cdotdfrac1sin xdx$$



$$=dfrac1sin xintdfracsin x(a+bcos x)^2dx-left(dfracd(1/sin x)dxcdotintdfracsin x(a+bcos x)^2dxright)dx$$



$$=dfrac1bsin x(a+bcos x)+intdfraccos xb(1-cos^2x)(a+bcos x),dx$$



Use Partial Fraction Decomposition,



$$dfraccos x(1-cos^2x)(a+bcos x)=dfrac A1+cos x+dfrac B1-cos x+dfrac Ca+bcos x$$



The first two integral can be managed easily, for the last use Weierstrass substitution

    Thanks guys for answering my question .
    I researched on it and found out a way to solve which I liked much.
    So I want share to you guys too
    Please have a look .enter image description here

      The idea is beautiful, you just reversed $2+3cos x$ with $3+2cos x$ by mistake. Good job!

    ok, you can use tangent half-angle substitution. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_substitution)



    $$int frac1(3cos(x)+2)^2 dx = int frac1left(frac3(1-tan^2(fracx2))tan^2(fracx2)+1+2right)^2dx$$



    now substitute $u=tan(fracx2)$



    $$Longrightarrow 2int fracu^2+1(u^2-5)^2 du$$



    now you can try the new integral.

    You can use the following approach:



    $$intfracdx(2+3cos x)^2=intfracdx(2cos^2fracx2+2sin^2fracx2+3cos^2fracx2-3sin^2fracx2)^2=$$
    $$=intfracdx(5cos^2fracx2-sin^2fracx2)^2=intfracdxcos^4frac x2(5-tan^2frac x2)^2=left[t=tanfracx2right]=$$
    $$=2intfrac1+t^2(5-t^2)^2dt=...$$

              ok, you can use tangent half-angle substitution. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_substitution)



              $$int frac1(3cos(x)+2)^2 dx = int frac1left(frac3(1-tan^2(fracx2))tan^2(fracx2)+1+2right)^2dx$$



              now substitute $u=tan(fracx2)$



              $$Longrightarrow 2int fracu^2+1(u^2-5)^2 du$$



              now you can try the new integral.

              You can use the following approach:



              $$intfracdx(2+3cos x)^2=intfracdx(2cos^2fracx2+2sin^2fracx2+3cos^2fracx2-3sin^2fracx2)^2=$$
              $$=intfracdx(5cos^2fracx2-sin^2fracx2)^2=intfracdxcos^4frac x2(5-tan^2frac x2)^2=left[t=tanfracx2right]=$$
              $$=2intfrac1+t^2(5-t^2)^2dt=...$$
