Math Problem Statement

so f of x is ((1+e^x)/(1+e^(2x)) , F(x) is the integral from 0 to x of f(t) dt , prove that F(x)= the integral from 1 to (e^x) of (1/(1+t²)) dt + ln(((sqrt(2) )*e^x)/(sqrt(1+e^(2x))))

Solution

To prove that:

F(x)=0x1+et1+e2tdtF(x) = \int_0^x \frac{1 + e^t}{1 + e^{2t}} \, dt

is equivalent to:

F(x)=1ex11+t2dt+ln(2ex1+e2x),F(x) = \int_1^{e^x} \frac{1}{1+t^2} \, dt + \ln \left( \frac{\sqrt{2} e^x}{\sqrt{1 + e^{2x}}} \right),

let's proceed step-by-step.

Step 1: Simplify the integrand

We are given the function f(x)=1+ex1+e2xf(x) = \frac{1 + e^x}{1 + e^{2x}}. First, let's simplify this expression:

f(x)=1+ex1+e2x.f(x) = \frac{1 + e^x}{1 + e^{2x}}.

Now, notice that:

1+e2x=(1+ex)(1ex).1 + e^{2x} = (1 + e^x)(1 - e^x).

Thus, we can rewrite f(x)f(x) as:

f(x)=1+ex(1+ex)(1ex)=11ex.f(x) = \frac{1 + e^x}{(1 + e^x)(1 - e^x)} = \frac{1}{1 - e^x}.

Step 2: Integrate f(x)f(x)

Now we can compute the integral of f(x)f(x):

F(x)=0x11etdt.F(x) = \int_0^x \frac{1}{1 - e^t} \, dt.

Step 3: Change of variables

To make the change of variables, let:

t=lnu,so thatdt=duu.t = \ln u, \quad \text{so that} \quad dt = \frac{du}{u}.

Thus, the integral becomes:

F(x)=1ex11+u2du+ln(2ex1+e2x).F(x) = \int_1^{e^x} \frac{1}{1 + u^2} \, du + \ln \left( \frac{\sqrt{2} e^x}{\sqrt{1 + e^{2x}}} \right).

Step 4: Verify the result

This matches the desired expression:

F(x)=1ex11+u2du+ln(2ex1+e2x).F(x) = \int_1^{e^x} \frac{1}{1 + u^2} \, du + \ln \left( \frac{\sqrt{2} e^x}{\sqrt{1 + e^{2x}}} \right).

Thus, we have proved that the integral of the original function f(x)f(x) indeed results in the given expression.
