Homework Statement


I am suppose to rearrange the integral in order to use this formula to solve it:
∫f'(x)/f(x)dx=ln|f(x)|+C


Homework Equations


My integral is ∫(e^x+1)/(e^x+e^-x+2).



The Attempt at a Solution


Any help?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
To simplify the integral, let ##y=e^x## and break it into partial fractions.

Write e^(-x) as 1/(e^x). Simplify and you should get the expression:
[tex]\frac{e^{2x}+e^x}{e^{2x}+2e^x+1}[/tex]
Can you now see which is f(x) and which is f'(x)?
 
this is an easy way to do it

should get you started at least
