    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{1+{{e}^{x}}}=}\] [MP PET 1991; Roorkee 1977]

    A)            \[\log (1+{{e}^{x}})\]

    B)            \[-\log (1+{{e}^{-x}})\]

    C)            \[-\log (1-{{e}^{-x}})\]

    D)            \[\log ({{e}^{-x}}+{{e}^{-2x}})\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{1+{{e}^{x}}}}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{e}^{-x}}}{1+{{e}^{-x}}}}\,dx\]            Put \[1+{{e}^{-x}}=t\] Þ \[{{e}^{-x}}dx=-dt\], then it reduces to            \[-\int{\frac{dt}{t}=-\log t=-\log (1+{{e}^{-x}})}\].
