 We can check  $z_+$  is within the unit circle,  $z_-$  is outside it. Hence to apply residue theorem, we get
  $I = (2\pi i) (2/i) Res_{z=z_+} \frac{1}{2z + \epsilon(z^2+1)} =  \frac{4\pi}{2 + 2 \epsilon z_+} = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{1-\epsilon^2}}$
+===== integration of real rational function =====
+Consider
+ $\int_0^\infty \frac{1}{1+x^3} dx$
+We first truncate it to
+ $I_{1,R} = \int_0^R \frac{1}{1+x^3} dx$
+then  $I_1 = \lim_{R \to \infty} I_{1,R}$  is what we want.
+We next complete the integration contour to a full closed loop, by adding two more pieces of integral
+  * $I_{2,R} = \int_{|z|=R, 0<\arg(z)<2\pi/3} \frac{1}{1+z^3} dz $
+  * $I_{3,R} = \int_{z=r e^{i2\pi/3}, r=R}^0 \frac{1}{1+z^3} dz = e^{i2\pi/3} \int_{r=R}^0 \frac{1}{1+r^3} dr = - e^{i2\pi/3} I_{1,R}$
+We also know that
+ $I_R = I_{1,R} + I_{2,R} + I_{3,R} = 2\pi i Res_{z = e^{\pi i / 3}} \frac{1}{z^3} = 2\pi i \frac{1}{3 e^{2\pi i / 3} }$
+taking limit  $R \to \infty$ , we can show (here I ignore it) that  $I_{3,R} \to 0$ , then
+ I_1 (1 -  e^{i2\pi/3})  = 2\pi i \frac{1}{3 e^{2\pi i / 3} }
+hence
+ $I_1 = \frac{2\pi i}{3(e^{2\pi i/3} - e^{4\pi i/3} )}$
