Integral Calculus Question 4

Question: $ \int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{1+e^{x}}=} $

[MP PET 1991; Roorkee 1977]

Options:

A) $ \log (1+e^{x}) + c$

B) $ -\log (1+{e^{-x}}) + c$

C) $ -\log (1-{e^{-x}}) + c$

D) $ \log ({e^{-x}}+{e^{-2x}}) + c$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{1+e^{x}}}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{e^{-x}}}{1+{e^{-x}}}},dx $

Put $ 1+{e^{-x}}=t $

$ {e^{-x}}dx=-dt $ , then it reduces to

$ -\int{\frac{dt}{t}=-\log t=-\log (1+{e^{-x}})} + c$ .
