integral of (e^x)/(e^{2x)-4}

\int \frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{2 x} - 4} d x

- \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{e ^{x}}{e ^{2 x} - 4} d x

Factor

e^{2 x} - 4 : - (- e^{2 x} + 4)

= \int \frac{e ^{x}}{- ( - e ^{2 x} + 4 )} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int \frac{e ^{x}}{- e ^{2 x} + 4} d x

Apply u-substitution

= - \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 4} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

= - \int \frac{1}{2 ( - v ^{2} + 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- v ^{2} + 1} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{- v ^{2} + 1} d v = \frac{ln ∣ v + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ v - 1 ∣}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{ln ∣ v + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ v - 1 ∣}{2})

Substitute back

= - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} - 1}{2})

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} (\frac{ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} - 1}{2}) : - \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} - 1)

= - \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{e ^{x}}{2} - 1) + C
