  1. Find \(\displaystyle\int\dfrac{2x+3}{x^2+2x-3}\,\mathrm{d}x\).[3]
  2. Using the substitution \(u=\tan\dfrac{x}{2}\), show that \(\displaystyle\int\dfrac{1}{2+\cos x}\,\mathrm{d}x=\int\dfrac{2}{3+u^2}\,\mathrm{d}u\). Hence, find the exact value of \(\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\dfrac{1}{2+\cos x}\,\mathrm{d}x\).[6]
