Solution
Solution:
Here,
$\rm = {\int \frac{dx}{e^x \ + \frac{1}{e^x}}} $
$\rm = {\int \frac{dx}{\frac{(e^x)^2 + 1}{e^x}}}$
$\rm = {\int \frac{e^x dx}{(e^x)^2 \ + 1}} $
Let,
$\rm {e^x\ = \ y} $
Differentiating both sides with respect to x,
$\rm \frac{de^x}{dx} \ = \ \frac{dy}{dx} $
$\rm e^x \ = \ \frac{dy}{dx} $
$\rm \therefore {dy \ = \ e^xdx }$
Putting the values we get,
$\rm = {\int \frac{dy}{y^2 \ + \ 1}}$
$\rm = {\int \frac{dy}{y^2 \ + \ 1^2}}$
$\rm ={ \frac{1}{1} tan^{-^1} \frac{y}{1}} + C $
$\rm ={ tan^{-^1} e^x} + C $
$\rm\therefore {\int \frac{dx}{e^{x} + e^{-x}} = tan^{-1} e^x + C}$
