$$\int\frac{{dx}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{13}}= \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\left[{t}=\frac{{x}+\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\:\rightarrow\:{dx}=\mathrm{3}{dt}\right] \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\int\frac{{dt}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{arctan}\:{t}\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{arctan}\:\frac{{x}+\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\:+{C} \\ $$$$\underset{−\infty} {\overset{+\infty} {\int}}\frac{{dx}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{13}}=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
