∫1ex−1 dx\displaystyle\int \dfrac{1}{e^x-1}\,dx is equal to:

(where C is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Put t=ext = e^x, so dx=dttdx = \dfrac{dt}{t} and the integral becomes ∫dtt(t−1)\int\dfrac{dt}{t(t-1)}.

Using partial fractions, 1t(t−1)=1t−1−1t\dfrac{1}{t(t-1)} = \dfrac{1}{t-1}-\dfrac{1}{t}.

Integrating gives log⁡∣t−1t∣+c=log⁡e∣ex−1ex∣+c\log\left|\dfrac{t-1}{t}\right|+c = \log_e\left|\dfrac{e^x-1}{e^x}\right|+c.
