Answer

$$\frac{1}{2}\ln \left( {{e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}}} \right) + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{{{e^{2x}} - {e^{ - 2x}}}}{{{e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}}}}} dx \cr & {\text{Integrate using the substitution method}} \cr & u = {e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}},{\text{ }}du = \left( {2{e^{2x}} - 2{e^{ - 2x}}} \right)dx,{\text{ }}dx = 2\left( {{e^{2x}} - {e^{ - 2x}}} \right)du \cr & \frac{1}{2}dx = \left( {{e^{2x}} - {e^{ - 2x}}} \right)du \cr & {\text{Substitute}} \cr & \int {\frac{{{e^{2x}} - {e^{ - 2x}}}}{{{e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}}}}} dx = \int {\frac{1}{u}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)} du \cr & = \frac{1}{2}\int {\frac{1}{u}du} \cr & {\text{Integrate}} \cr & = \frac{1}{2}\ln \left| u \right| + C \cr & {\text{Write in terms of }}x \cr & = \frac{1}{2}\ln \left| {{e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}}} \right| + C \cr & {e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}} > 0,{\text{ then}} \cr & = \frac{1}{2}\ln \left( {{e^{2x}} + {e^{ - 2x}}} \right) + C \cr} $$
