The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\int \frac{(1+\Phi)+\Phi e^{-x}}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}dx=\int\frac{1+\Phi}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}dx+\int\frac{\Phi e^{-x}}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}dx[/tex]

[tex](1+\Phi)\int\frac{dx}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}[/tex]

[tex](1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}=t[/tex] [tex]1+\Phi-t=\Phi e^{-x}[/tex]

[tex]\Phi e^{-x}dx=dt[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{1+\Phi-t}=\frac{A}{1+\Phi-t}+\frac{B}{t}[/tex]

I got

[tex]A=B=\frac{1}{1+\Phi}[/tex]

So I got if I don't write constant

[tex](1+\Phi)\int\frac{dx}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}=ln[\frac{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}{\Phi e^{-x}}][/tex]

For second integral I got without constant

[tex]\int\frac{\Phi e^{-x}}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}dx=ln[(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}][/tex]


So


[tex]\int \frac{(1+\Phi)+\Phi e^{-x}}{(1+\Phi)-\Phi e^{-x}}dx=2ln[\frac{1+\Phi-\Phi e^{-x}}{\Phi e^{-x}}]+C[/tex]

Rewrite the given problem as
1 + [2φ*e^-x/(1 + φ - φe^-x)...(1)
If t = 1 + φ - φe^-x
dt = ...?
Substitute these values in eq. 1 and find integration.
