    @Leaozinho - Okay, so once you complete the square, try$a$trigonometric substitution in the two cases that David Mitra pointed out in his comment above.2011-11-29

Hint: Complete the square on $ax^2+bx+c$ and then try a trigonometric substitution. Also, depending on the values of $a$, $b$, and $c$, the integral may be improper (and divergent).

    @Leaozinho - You've been fairly rude in your comments and questions here in MSE. Your questions come across as barked orders ("Evaluate this integral!!!eleventyones!!1") and you have shown little to no willingness to put forth any effort. Again, we're not here to vomit up answers on demand.2011-11-29
