Integral Calculus Concepts and Techniques

The video tutorial explains how to find the indefinite integral of 1 divided by 1 plus e raised to the x. It begins by adjusting the numerator, adding and subtracting e to the x, and splitting the fraction into two parts. The tutorial then uses u-substitution to simplify the integral, replacing variables and solving the integrals. Finally, it presents the solution as x minus the natural log of 1 plus e to the x, plus a constant.

What is the first step in adjusting the numerator of the integral 1/(1+e^x)?

• Add e^x and -e^x to the numerator

• Multiply the numerator by 2

• Subtract e^x from the numerator

• Divide the numerator by e^x

Why do we add e^x and -e^x to the numerator initially?

• To facilitate splitting the fraction

• To simplify the denominator

• To change the value of the numerator

• To eliminate e^x

After splitting the fraction, what is the result of dividing 1+e^x by itself?

• e^x

• 1

• 0

• 1+e^x

What substitution is used to simplify the second integral?

• u = ln(e^x)

• u = e^x

• u = 1 + e^x

• u = x

What is the derivative of e^x with respect to x?

• 1

• e^x

• x

• 0

What is the purpose of using u-substitution in this problem?

• To simplify the expression

• To find the derivative

• To change the variable of integration

• To eliminate the constant

What is the anti-derivative of 1 with respect to x?

• e^x

• 1/x

• x

• ln(x)

What is the anti-derivative of 1/u with respect to u?

• e^u

• ln(u)

• 1/u

• u

What is the final expression for the integral of 1/(1+e^x)?

• ln(x) - ln(1+e^x) + C

• x + ln(1+e^x) + C

• e^x - ln(1+e^x) + C

• x - ln(1+e^x) + C

What constant is added to the final solution of an indefinite integral?

• D

• C
