I thought it is (e^x)^2 with u = e^x
so it should be u^2 but he get only u without a square. Can anyone here explain it.

The red box.

Put in between the red box and the previous line:
\int\frac{u}{u+3}\,du

Hi
Because \int \frac{(e^x)^2}{e^x+3}dx\rightarrow u=e^x\Rightarrow du=e^xdx \Rightarrow dx=\frac{du}{e^x}
So,

\int \frac{u^2}{u+3}\frac{du}{u}=\int \frac{u}{u+3}du

Anyway, Thanks. I got it now. (^_^)
