I'm trying to solve the following integral $$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\frac{1}{A\cos(2x+B)+C}\text{d}x$$ Any idea on how to approach this?

    "Solve" is not the right word here. "Evaluate" would fit. "Solve" and "equation" are words that get used as catch-alls by students who haven't learned definitions.2012-09-26

    If $A$ and $C$ are such that $\{x \in [0,2\pi]:\ A\cos x+C=0\}\ne \emptyset$, then your integral diverges.2012-09-26

    Yes, you don't "solve" integrals.2012-09-28

First notice that since $\cos$ is periodic, and you're integrating over (twice) its period, the $+B$ doesn't make a difference, and so $$\int_0^{2\pi} \dfrac{1}{A\cos(2x+B)+C}\, dx = \int_0^{2\pi} \dfrac{1}{A\cos 2x + C}\, dx$$ At this point, a $t$-substitution* should do the trick $-$ put $t=\tan x$, so that $\cos 2x = \dfrac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}$ and so forth.

(*Thanks Michael Hardy)
