Answer

$$\ln \left( {1 + {e^x}} \right) + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{{{e^x}}}{{1 + {e^x}}}} dx;\,\,\,u = 1 + {e^x} \cr & u = 1 + {e^x} \to du = {e^x}dx,\,\,dx = \frac{1}{{{e^x}}}du \cr & {\text{using the indicated substitution in the book }} \cr & \int {\frac{{{e^x}}}{{1 + {e^x}}}} dx = \int {\frac{{{e^x}}}{u}} \left( {\frac{1}{{{e^x}}}du} \right) \cr & = \int {\frac{1}{u}} du \cr & {\text{integrate}} \cr & = \ln \left| u \right| + C \cr & {\text{substituting }}u = 1 + {e^x} \cr & = \ln \left| {1 + {e^x}} \right| + C \cr & 1 + {e^x}{\text{ is always positive}}{\text{, thus}} \cr & = \ln \left( {1 + {e^x}} \right) + C \cr} $$
