actually i know how to do it now..... here is another one

1/(x^2 +x +1)

Use complete the square then integrate and should get something in tan-1(f(x))

1/(x^2 +x +1)
=I 1/[(x + 1/2)^2 + 3/4]
= 2/sqrt3 tan-1(2x + 1)/sqrt3 + c

ok 3 S 1/ (x-1/3)+1/9

use u = x-1/3 du/dx = 1 >> du=dx

3S 1/u^2 +1/9

then when you do this

you get tan^-1 ( 3(u) )

sub u back in .. therefore you get

tan^-1(3x-1) + C

how about...

x/(x^2 + 2x -2)
Try manipulating the numerator so that it is equal to 2x+2, then see if you can see the answer

x/(x^2 + 2x -2)
I x/(x^2 + 2x - 2)
= (1/2) I (2x + 2 - 2)/(x^2 + 2x - 2)
=(1/2) I (2x + 2)/(x^2 + 2x - 2) - I 1/(x^2 + 2x - 2)
= (1/2)ln(x^2 + 2x - 2) - I 1/[(x + 1)^2 -3]
=(1/2)ln(x^2 + 2x - 2) - I 1/(x + 1 + sqrt3)(x + 1 - sqrt3)

now just use partial fractions to integrate the socond part.
