In summary, the integral of dx/Sqrt[exp(-x)+x+c] is a mathematical representation of the area under the curve of the function dx/Sqrt[exp(-x)+x+c]. It can be solved using various methods such as integration by parts, substitution, or using a table of integrals. The constant "c" represents the arbitrary constant of integration and is important to include in the solution. It can be evaluated using a calculator, but may not provide a solution for symbolic integration. Real-world applications include physics, economics, engineering, and statistics.

Does anybody know if it is possible to find the anti-derivative of 1/Sqrt[exp(-x)+x+c] with respect to x. Mathematica was unable to compute it. Would it be possible to convert it into a form where residue theory is applicable?

Residue theory is usually only good for computing infinite integrals, or integrals from 0 to 2pi. I'm not aware of any way to compute a general anti-derivative using it

What if I made it a definite integral...and integrated from xa to xb.

and then apply some sort of conformal mapping to change it to an infinite integral
