I have to evaluate the following integral
$$
\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{x\sin{x}}{x^2-4x+8}dx
$$
I know that for such integrals we can use residues and
$$
\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{x\sin{x}}{x^2-4x+8}dx = 2\pi i \sum_{k=0}^n \text{res}[f(z),a_k] + \lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{\Gamma_R} f(z)dz
$$
I see that $f(z) = \frac{x\sin{x}}{x^2-4x+8}$ has one singularity in the upper half of the plane which is $x = 2+2i$ and I have computed that res$[f(z),2+2i] = \left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{i}{2}\right)\sin{(2+2i)}$, but I have problems evaluating the line integral. Usually we have shown that this goes to $0$ as $R$ gets large, but in this case it doesn't seem to be so. How can I go about evaluating the line integral? Thanks for any advice.

I use Euclidean Algorithm: 4620 = 101 * 45 + 75. long story short. I get 3 = 2 * 1 + 1. After that 2 = 1 * 2 + 0. gcd(101,4620) = 1. So I us...
