Answer

$\int \frac{2^{x}}{2^{x}+1}dx=\frac{1}{ln2}ln|2^{x}+1|+C$

Work Step by Step

Evaluate the integral $\int \frac{2^{x}}{2^{x}+1}dx$ Consider $2^{x}=t$ and $dx=\frac{dt}{2^{x}ln2}$ Now, $\int \frac{2^{x}}{2^{x}+1}dx=\frac{1}{ln2}\int\frac{dt}{t+1}$ $=\frac{1}{ln2}ln|t+1|+C$ Hence, $\int \frac{2^{x}}{2^{x}+1}dx=\frac{1}{ln2}ln|2^{x}+1|+C$
