integral of (-1)/(1+e^{-x)}

\int \frac{- 1}{1 + e ^{- x}} d x

- ln 1 + e^{- x} - x + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 1}{1 + e ^{- x}} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int \frac{1}{1 + e ^{- x}} d x

\frac{1}{1 + e ^{- x}} = - \frac{e ^{- x}}{1 + e ^{- x}} + 1

= - \int - \frac{e ^{- x}}{1 + e ^{- x}} + 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - (- \int \frac{e ^{- x}}{1 + e ^{- x}} d x + \int 1 d x)

\int \frac{e ^{- x}}{1 + e ^{- x}} d x = - ln 1 + e^{- x}

\int 1 d x = x

= - (- (- ln 1 + e^{- x}) + x)

Simplify

= - ln 1 + e^{- x} - x

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln 1 + e^{- x} - x + C

\int 5 x^{2} \cdot x d x

\int \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2 ( 9 x ^{2} + 1 )} d x

\int \frac{e ^{2 t}}{t} d t

\int 12 x^{3} + \frac{1}{6 x} - \frac{3}{2 x ^{4}} d x

\int (x^{\frac{- 1}{3}}) d x
