Integration using an Abel transform

[|mathematix|]

Homework Statement

Find the following integral:

Homework Equations

\int \frac{e^{x}}{\sqrt{(1+e^{2x})(1-e^{4x})}}dx

The Attempt at a Solution

I changed the integral to: \int \frac{e^{x}}{(1+e^{2x})\sqrt{(1-e^{2x})}}dx
The let u=e^x
The integral becomes: \int \frac{du}{(1+u^{2})\sqrt{(1-u^{2})}}
I can do this the long way, such as on wolfram alpha but I want to use an Abel transform so let u=\sqrt{1-u^{2}}'

\sqrt{1-u^{2}}'=-\frac{u}{\sqrt{1-u^2}} \therefore v^{2}=\frac{u^{2}}{1-u^{2}}

du=\frac{dv}{\sqrt{1-u^{2}}}

The integral becomes: \int \frac{dv}{1-u^{4}}

I need to somehow get rid off the u and get the integral in terms of v so how can I do that?

u² = 1 - v², no?

u² = 1 - v², no?

How do you get that?

Maybe I misunderstood your substitutions. This doesn't seem to be consistent:

u=\sqrt{1-u^{2}}'

\sqrt{1-u^{2}}'=-\frac{u}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}

Did you mean v=\sqrt{1-u^{2}}'? If so, u² = v²/(1+v²)

Thanks :)
