Question

integral 1 / ( 1 + e^x) dx .

Answer 1

Hi there, use the substitution:
u = e^x
du = e^x * dx

Answer 2

Sorry I will be typing in short posts, because it is easier for me to see what I'm doing

Answer 3

Now if you let u = e^x and du = e^x * dx, then you have Integral ( 1 / ( 1 + u ) * dx ). NOTE you are missing the e^x in the dx, so multiply and divide the integral by e^x

Answer 4

You will get: \[(1/e ^{x}) \int\limits_{}^{} e ^{x} / ( 1 + e ^{x})\]
Now you can replace x and dx by u and du

Answer 5

You will get: \[(1/e ^{x}) \int\limits_{}^{} e ^{x} / ( 1 + e ^{x})\]dx
Now you can replace x and dx by u and

Answer 6

Sorry I forgot the dx in the previous part.

So now you have e^x * dx = du on top and 1 + u on the bottom

Answer 7

\[1/ e ^{x} \int\limits_{}^{} e^x * dx/ ( 1 + e^x) = 1 / e^x \int\limits_{}^{} du / (1+u)\]

Answer 8

Now remember we let u = e^x, so plug that into the 1/e^x and move everything into the integral

Answer 9

\[\int\limits_{}^{}du / [u(1+u)]\]

Answer 10

Now use partial fractions:
( A / u ) + ( B / 1 + u ) = 1 / [u(1+u)]

Answer 11

multiply everything by u * ( 1 + u ) so that you get:
A * (1+u) + B * u = 1
A + Au + Bu = 1 + 0
A + u(A+B) = 1 + 0
A = 1; A+B = 0 => A = 1; B = -1

Answer 12

Rewrite your integral as:
\[\int\limits\limits_{}^{}du / [u(1+u)]=\int\limits_{}^{}(1/u)du + \int\limits_{}^{}( -1*du) / (1+u)\]

Answer 13

The first part is just ln|u| and for the second part of the integral, let a = 1+u, da=du; so
the answer to the integral so far is:
Ln|u| - Ln|1+u|; u = e^x => Answer is Ln(e^x) - Ln(1+e^x) = x - ln (1+e^x) +C
That's the final answer!

Answer 14

x - ln (1+e^x) +C

Answer 15

you there?
