[Your hint says to use t = tanx, but most teachers and books use
the letter u rather than the letter t, so I'll use u = tanx, but 
you can substitute t everywhere I have u if you like.]

Break  into partial fractions:

But before doing that let's get the denominators in descending 
powers of u.
[That isn't absolutely necessary but it is customary because it 
keeps things more orderly.  Also it is customary to get the 
leading term positive, which I will do on the second term]

2+u = u+2      <--first term, just turn it around

3-u = -u+3 = -(u-3)    <--second term, factor out -1









This has to be identically true for all u so substitute u=3
to make the first term on the right become 0







substitute u=-2 to make the second term on the right become 0:









So our integral is now
