integral of (1/(e^x+1))

\int (\frac{1}{e ^{x} + 1}) d x

- ln ∣ e^{x} + 1 ∣ + x + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{e ^{x} + 1} d x

\frac{1}{e ^{x} + 1} = - \frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{x} + 1} + 1

= \int - \frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{x} + 1} + 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - \int \frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{x} + 1} d x + \int 1 d x

\int \frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{x} + 1} d x = ln ∣ e^{x} + 1 ∣

\int 1 d x = x

= - ln ∣ e^{x} + 1 ∣ + x

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ e^{x} + 1 ∣ + x + C
