Using the substitution  `u=1+e^x, \int_0^{\log _e 2} \frac{1}{1+e^x}dx`  can be expressed as

  1. `\int_0^{\log _e 2}\left(\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}\right) du`
  2. `\int_2^3\left(\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{u-1}\right) du`
  3. `\int_1^3\left(\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{u-1}\right) du`
  4. `\int_2^3\left(\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}\right) du`
  5. `\int_2^{1+e^2}\left(\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}\right) du`

Show Worked Solution

`u=1+e^x\ \ =>\ \ \frac{du}{dx}=e^x\ \ =>\ \ dx=\frac{du}{e^x}=\frac{du}{u-1}`

`text{When}\ \ x=0,\ \ u=2`

`text{When}\ \ x=\log_e 2,\ \ u=1+e^{\log_e 2} = 3`

`\int_0^{\log _e 2} \frac{1}{1+e^x}dx = \int_2^3\left(\frac{1}{u}*\frac{1}{u-1}\right) du= \int_2^{1+e^2}\left(\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}\right) du`

`log_e ((4)/(3))`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Let)\ \ u = log_e x`

`(du)/(dx) = (1)/(x) \ => \ du = (1)/(x) dx`

`text(When) \ \ x = e^4 \ => \ u = 4`

`text(When) \ \ x = e^3 \ => \ u = 3`

`int_(e^3) ^(e^4) (1)/(x log_e (x))` `= int_3 ^4 (1)/(u)\ du`
  `= [ log_e u]_3 ^4`
  `= log_e 4 – log_e 3`
  `= log_e ((4)/(3))`
