let do the changement  tan((x/2))=t  I=∫_0 ^π    (dx/(a^2 −2a cosx +1))= ∫_0 ^∝ ((dt/(1+t^2 ))/(a^2 −2a((1−t^2 )/(1+t^2 )) +1))    = ∫_0 ^∝ (dt/(a^2 (1+t^2 ) −2a(1−t^2 )+1+t^2 ))  = ∫_0 ^∝       (dt/((a^2 +2a +1)t^2  +a^2 −2a +1))  = ∫_0 ^∝     (dt/((a+1)^2 t^2  +(a−1)^2 ))  =∫_0 ^∝      (dt/((a+1)^2 ( t^2  + (((1−a)/(a+1)))^2  ))) and we do the changeent  t= ((1−a)/(a+1)) α ⇒I= (1/((a+1)^2 )) ∫_0 ^∝   ((((1−a)/(a+1))dα)/((((1−a)/(a+1)))^2 (1+α^2 )))  =(1/((a+1)^2 ))((1−a)/(a+1))(((a+1)^2 )/((1−a)^2 )) (π/2)  =(π/(2(1−a^2 ))) .
