I followed the same process as you did, up until the point where you did partial fractions, while I completed the square on the denominator of the integrand. (Also, I forgot a factor of 9 in my integrand, which of course would not affect its integrability.) However, after that, the forms of the integral look quite different, although they must be equivalent. Yours appears to be nicer.
