Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\ln|\frac{2e^{x}-1}{e^{x}+1}|+C$

Work Step by Step

I=$\displaystyle \int\frac{dx}{1+2e^{x}-e^{-x}}=\quad \left[\begin{array}{lll} u=e^{x} & & x=\ln u\\ du=e^{x}dx & & dx=\frac{du}{u} \end{array}\right]$ $=\displaystyle \int\frac{\frac{du}{u}\times u}{(2u+1-\frac{1}{u})\times u}=\int\frac{du}{2u^{2}+u-1}$ Factor the denominator $2u^{2}+u-1=2u^{2}+2u-u-1$ $= 2u(u+1)-(u+1)=(2u-1)(u+1)$ $I=\displaystyle \int\frac{du}{(2u-1)(u+1)}$ (use the partial fractions method) $\displaystyle \frac{1}{(2u-1)(u+1)}=\frac{A}{2u-1}+\frac{B}{u+1}$ $1=Au+A+2Bu-B$ $1=(A+2B)u+(A-B)\Rightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{l} A+2B=0\\ A-B=1 \end{array}\right.$ Subtract the second from the first: $3B=-1,$ $B=-\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} .\quad A=\frac{2}{3}$ $I=\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\int\frac{du}{2u-1}-\frac{1}{3}\int\frac{du}{u+1}$ (table of integrals, type 2) $=\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{2}\ln|2u-1|-\frac{1}{3}\ln|u+1|+C$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}(\ln|2u-1|-\ln|u+1|)+C$ (bring back x, apply logarithm of a quotient) $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\ln|\frac{2e^{x}-1}{e^{x}+1}|+C$
