Answer

$\ln|e^{x}+e^{-x}|+C$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \int\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}dx=$ If we substitute the expression in the denominator with $u$ $u=e^{x}+e^{-x},$ we obtain $du=(e^{x}-e^{-x})dx$, (the numerator of the integrand)*$dx$ is substituted with $du$ $\displaystyle \int\frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}dx=\int\frac{1}{u}du$ special case of the power rule, $n=-1,$ $=\ln|u|+C$ bring back the variable $x$ = $\ln|e^{x}+e^{-x}|+C$
