SUMMARY
The integral $$\int \frac{e^x}{e^{2x} + 1}\,dx$$ can be solved using substitution methods. By letting $\mathrm{e}^x = \tan(\theta)$, the integral simplifies to $$\int 1\,d\theta$$, resulting in the solution $\arctan(e^x) + C$. An alternative substitution of $u = e^x$ also leads to the same result, confirming the effectiveness of these techniques in solving the integral.
