    What is the value of the integral \[I=\int{\frac{dx}{(1+{{e}^{x}})\,\,(1+{{e}^{-x}})}}\] [DCE 1999]

    A)            \[\frac{-1}{1+{{e}^{x}}}\]

    B)            \[\frac{{{e}^{x}}}{1+{{e}^{x}}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{1+{{e}^{x}}}\]

    D)   None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[I=\int{\frac{dx}{(1+{{e}^{x}})\left( 1+\frac{1}{{{e}^{x}}} \right)}=\int{\frac{{{e}^{x}}dx}{{{(1+{{e}^{x}})}^{2}}}}}\]            Let  \[1+{{e}^{x}}=t\], \[\therefore \,\,{{e}^{x}}\,dx=dt\]            \\[I=\int{\frac{dt}{{{t}^{2}}}=\int{{{t}^{-2}}dt=\frac{{{t}^{-1}}}{-1}=\frac{{{(1+{{e}^{x}})}^{-1}}}{-1}}}=\frac{-1}{1+{{e}^{x}}}\].
