    I did a u-substitution and I got this answer

    u = -x^2 -2x +3 du = -2x -2 = -1(2x + 2) = -2(x+1)

    integrate -2 * du / (u)^1/2

    = integrate -2 * u^-1/2 du

    = 2 * integrate u^-1/2 du

    = 2 * (u^1/2) / (1/2) + C

    = 2 * (-x^2 -2x + 3)^1/2 + C

    Check my answer and your answer by taking the derivative and see if you get (x+1)/ Square root (3-2x-x^2).

    I think your answer is right.
