Are these two math answers the same or am I wrong?

In order to retain what calculus knowledge I have I've been doing some problems from my college days. I tried doing this one problem: integrate t^5/(t^2+2)^.5

However, Mathematica and Wolfram's Alpha are giving me the same solution: http://www08.wolframalpha.com/...2F%28t%5E2%2B2%29%5E.5

Sorry guys, it looks like my original solution, which is not what I posted, was correct. I was looking in the wrong place. That's what happens when you wake up too early.

The final answer should be:
2^(5/2)*((1/5)*sec^(5)theta -(2/3)*sec^(3)theta+sectheta). I guess my problem is I cannot revert it back to t since I cannot revert secant to the odd power into tangent. Well, I can but it will be messy.
