Use a substitution.
Let ,



.
.
.


Take it from there and solve for the integral in u, then back substitute to x.
.
.
.
Complete the square in the denominator.


Substitute, let ,

Substitute again, let ,





Take it from here and get the solution in v, back substitute for u, and then back substitute for x.

a) Hint: Draw a triangle with legs of , and with a hypotenuse of . So ('x' is the leg opposite the angle ). So because ,


So the integral then transforms to





But we know that , so...





and then the cosine terms cancel to leave you with





Let me know if this is enough to get you started.
