This indefinite integral does not exist.

The answer is correct. The question has an error. The ln has been typed there by mistake.


It should be : ∫ 1/(eˣ + 1) dx


Use the method of integration by substitution.


Let u = eˣ

du/dx = eˣ → "dx = 1/eˣ du" → " dx = 1/u du"


Then,

∫ 1/(eˣ + 1) dx

= ∫ 1/(u + 1) · (1/u) du

= ∫ 1 / [u(u+1)] du

= ∫ (u + 1 - u) / [u(u+1)] du

= ∫ ( (u+1)/[u(u+1)] - u/[u(u+1)] ) du

= ∫ ( 1/u - 1/(u+1) ) du

《This is basically splitting it up into partial fractions》

= ln u - ln (u + 1)

= ln (eˣ) - ln (eˣ + 1)

《This is the answer key provided, but it is actually possible to simplify further》

= x ln e - ln (eˣ + 1)

= x - ln (eˣ + 1) + c

Where c is an arbitrary constant.
