Then we simply transform…

…and elegantly arrive at the result:

The arctan Formula in Atypical Situations in Indefinite Integrals

And what about this indefinite integral:

? What squared equals 17? Nothing? Nope… squared equals 17, so:

Generally speaking, the formula will handle any indefinite integral of this type, constants in the denominator may not be so easy to represent as a square…
