Answer

$2\tan^{-1}\sqrt{e^{x}-1}+C$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{e^{x}-1}}=$ $\left[\begin{array}{ll} u=\sqrt{e^{x}-1} & u^{2}=e^{x}-1\\ & 2udu=e^{x}dx\\ & \frac{2u}{u^{2}+1}du=dx \end{array}\right], \quad e^{x}=u^{2}+1$ $=\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{u}\cdot\frac{2u}{u^{2}+1}du$ $=2\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{u^{2}+1}du$ ... a basic integral, $=2\tan^{-1}u+C$ $=2\tan^{-1}\sqrt{e^{x}-1}+C$
