Advice

This exercise is best solved by using substitution.

Note that the numerator $\simplify[std]{{2 * a} * x + {b}}$ of

$\simplify[std]{({2 * a} * x + {b}) / ({a} * x ^ 2 + {b} * x + {c})}$ is the derivative of the denominator

$\simplify[std]{{a} * x ^ 2 + {b} * x + {c}}$

So if you use as your substitution $u=\simplify[std]{{a} * (x ^ 2) + ({b} * x) + {c}}$ you then have $\simplify[std]{ du = ({2 * a} * x + {b}) * dx}$

Hence we can replace $\simplify[std]{ ({2 * a} * x + {b}) * dx}$ by $du$

Hence the integral becomes:

$\begin{eqnarray*} I&=&\int\;\frac{du}{u}\\ &=&\ln(|u|)+C\\ &=& \simplify[std]{ln(abs({a} * (x ^ 2) + ({b} * x) + {c}))+C} \end{eqnarray*}$

A Useful Result
This example can be generalised.
Suppose

$I = \int\; \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\;dx$
The using the substitution

$u=f(x)$ we find that

$du=f'(x)\;dx$ and so using the same method as above:

$I = \int \frac{du}{u} = \ln(|u|)+ C = \ln(|f(x)|)+C$
