I have been trying several methods to try to integrate the following function:
Integral[Pa(theta)*d(theta)]
*Recall that Pa(theta) = (1-a^(2))/(1-2a*cos(theta) + a^(2)) and see the attached file for the proper notation.

I substituted 1/2(z+1/z) for cos (theta) and reduced the numerator to (az-1)(a-z) in hopes that there would be some type of cancelation to get it to an integral I can solve. I am looking for guidance on how to proceed.

Thank you.
