Answer

$$\frac{1}{3}\ln (2e^x-1)- \frac{1}{3}\ln (e^x+1)+c$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \int \frac{1}{1+2 e^x-e^{-x}} d x$$ Since $$ \int \frac{e^x}{e^x+2 e^{2x}-1} d x$$ Let $$u=e^x \ \to \ \ du e^xdx $$ Then \begin{aligned} \int \frac{e^x}{e^x+2 e^{2x}-1} d x&= \int \frac{1}{2u^2+u-1}du\\ &=\int \frac{1}{\left(2u-1\right)\left(u+1\right)}du \end{aligned} Use partial fractions \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\left(2u-1\right)\left(u+1\right)}&=\frac{a_0}{2u-1}+\frac{a_1}{u+1}\\ 1&= a_0\left(u+1\right)+a_1\left(2u-1\right)\end{aligned} at $u=-1\to \ a_1 =-1/3,\ \ u= 1/2\to a_0 =2/3$, then \begin{aligned} \int \frac{e^x}{e^x+2 e^{2x}-1} d x&= \int \frac{1}{2u^2+u-1}du\\ &=\int \frac{1}{\left(2u-1\right)\left(u+1\right)}du\\ &=\int \frac{2}{3\left(2u-1\right)}du-\int\frac{1}{3\left(u+1\right)}du\\ &= \frac{1}{3}\ln (2u-1)- \frac{1}{3}\ln (u+1)+c\\ &= \frac{1}{3}\ln (2e^x-1)- \frac{1}{3}\ln (e^x+1)+c \end{aligned}
