    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{e}^{-x}}}{1+{{e}^{x}}}\ dx=}\]

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{e}^{-x}}}{1+{{e}^{x}}}\,dx}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{e}^{-x}}{{e}^{-x}}}{{{e}^{-x}}+1}\,dx}\]            Put \[{{e}^{-x}}+1=t\Rightarrow -{{e}^{-x}}dx=dt,\] then it reduces to            \[-\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{(t-1)}{t}\,dt}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\left( \frac{1}{t}-1 \right)\,dt}\]                    \[=\log t-t+c=\log ({{e}^{-x}}+1)-({{e}^{-x}}+1)+c\]                    \[=\log ({{e}^{x}}+1)-x-{{e}^{-x}}-1+c\]                    \[=\log ({{e}^{x}}+1)-x-{{e}^{-x}}+c\],     \[(\because \,\,\,1=\]constant).
