Factor the denominator completely:
Then decompose the integrand into partial fractions:
I was going through the question and I got
.

before 
when I was factoring the denominator. ie

has to come before 
or were my values for 
also correct?

with the wrong linear factor…).

so I am guessing this is where your problem lies.
