integrate 2^x/2^x+1

myininaya (myininaya):

let u=2^x+1 du=ln2*2^x dx 1/ln2 du=2^x dx

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{1}{\ln2}\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{du}{u}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{1}{\ln2}*lnu+C\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{1}{\ln2}\ln{(2^x+1)}+C\]

myininaya (myininaya):

hey 2^x+1 is in the denominator right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}2^x/(2^x+1)dx\]Let \[u=2^x\]Then \[du=2^x \ln 2dx\]Or,\[du/\ln2=2^xdx\]Plugging this in to the integral we have\[1/\ln2\int\limits\limits_{}^{}du/(u+1)\]Thus,\[=\ln (u+1)/\ln2 + C\] or \[\ln(2^2+1)/\ln2 +C\]

myininaya (myininaya):

i think eseild meant for that exponent inside the natural log to be a x not a 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah oooops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can i leave the answer like 1/ln2*lnI2^x+1I+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah anil, there isn't anything you can do to simplify it honestly.
