    i) ∫e^x dx / (1 + e^(2x))

    let u = e^x, du = e^x dx

    ∫(du / (1 + u^2)) = arctan(u) + C = arctan(e^x) + C

    ii) ∫(sec^2(1/x) dx / x^2)

    let u = (1/x), du = -dx/x^2

    = - ∫sec^2(u) du

    = - tan(u) + C

    = - tan(1/x) + C.

    e^x / (1+e^(2x)) dx

    Let u=e^x, then du=e^x dx, so dx = 1/e^x du = (1/u)du

    = ∫ u / (1+ u²) (1/u) du

    = ∫ 1 / (1+u²) du

    = tan‾ ¹(u) + c

    = tan‾ ¹( e^x ) + c

    ∫ (1/x²) sec²(1/x)) dx

    Let u=1/x then du = 1/x² dx, so dx = x² du

    = ∫ - (1/x²) sec²(u) x² du

    = ∫ sec²(u) du

    = -tan(u) + c

    = -tan(1/x) + c
